What does it mean to identify as Transgender or Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC)?

31 个评分

In the last decade transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals have become increasingly visible in our families, culture, and public discourse. This course explores the concept of gender identity for people who are curious about the nature of gender, the process of gender affirmation, or changing social dynamics. Participants will learn the unique challenges faced by the TGNC population as well as develop the skills to build inclusive spaces in all spheres of their life. This course was developed under the Joycelyn Elders Chair in Sexual Health Education at the University of Minnesota.

Society and Public Policy in the United States

Anti-transgender policy discussions from "Bathroom Bills" to open participation in the military have been on the forefront of national conversation for the last decade. This module will delve into the disparities that transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) individuals face in society at large from healthcare to incarceration and discrimination.

The needs are broad, but I would say in general, some of the things that

come up fairly frequently are the use of name to identify the student.

There are going to be some contexts where the district is required to use

the student's legal name.

That's a reality, but there are plenty of contexts where the school doesn't need to

do that, just in everyday conversation.

The school is perfectly capable of accommodating an alternative name.

When do you use gender appropriate pronouns for the student?

Are there records that can be updated as opposed to records that cannot be updated?

How do you decide when students get to access bathrooms, or locker rooms, or

similar kinds of spaces, and what role do parents or

guardians have to play in those discussions?

So those are the kinds of questions that a good gender inclusion policy will address.

And so we hope that districts around the state will continue to

have this discussion as we move forward.

The scenarios that we face, that our clients face, are all over the map.

Probably the three biggest areas of concern right now are questions regarding

identity documents, healthcare or health coverage, and

access to schools for transgender youth.

I can tell you when I started at Outfront, if you were to ask me, so

what will you be doing 17 years from now on the issues regarding transgender youth,

I would have looked at you like you had come from another planet,

because there were no such thing on our radar as transgender youth at the time.

And now those questions and concerns come up regularly, and

they're some of the hardest questions that we deal with, frankly.

There are a lot of transgender students whose families really aren't supportive,

and they're often on their own.

Or maybe the families are supportive, but they run into school districts

which won't accommodate the particular needs of the transgender students, or

they face discrimination and harassment in other kinds of forms.

We're working on a case right now where a school district has denied the ability

of a young trans boy to use spaces that would be appropriate for him as a boy.

And I'm saying this to you now in early 2017.

There are a tremendous number of questions about what the future of the federal

Title IX law will hold for these questions.

And so it's really very critical for us to get clarity under state law about what

exactly the Minnesota Human Rights Act says about transgender students,

their ability to access spaces.

And so it's very much our hope to be able to get clarity for

not only this particular family, but for families throughout the state.

And so we're pursuing a complaint on their behalf, and we hope to see success.
