Gender Neutral Bathrooms

Input

What is the difference between sex and gender and why do we use them interchangeably?

Do we ever accidentally segregate ourselves?

How do we bring this issue up in our

own campus?

How do we strengthen the bond between educators and students when there exists such a cultural gap between the two?

Every California college is diverse in its own way.

Its student body population is composed of a myriad of colors, backgrounds and identities.

As a result of this, faculty education is key in order to ensure the prosperity of the students and develop strong bonds between those teaching and those learning.

Promotes a safe place for not only the LGBTQ community but for many other students.

Creates a more inclusive feel to the campus.

Acknowledges that not everyone fits into one category; prevents generalizations of individuals identity.
