A student organization for transgender students at Texas State is promoting greater awareness of issues that affect them on campus. Tyler Gaudin has more in this Bobcat Update:.
News reports suggest that students who are transgender face discrimination. For example, a transgender student in Oregon recently was kicked out of his dorm at George Fox University because it was an all-male dorm. If such an incident occurred at Texas State, an organization exists that could offer support to those who feel victimized:
Standup: Texas State is the only university in the nation with an organization for transgender students. The organization is called Transcend.
Transcend sponsored a webinar this past Tuesday to give transgender students an opportunity to talk about their experiences.
SB: Trans.
Some students believe Texas State is an accepting campus.
SB: Greg
There's also an organization on campus called Allies to provide support for the broader L-G-B-T-Q-I-A community.
SB: Corey
The Allies group also offers training for faculty, staff and students to help them identify and address discriminatory behavior. For Bobcat Update, I'm Tyler Gaudin.
