Question of the day?
I tend to ask a LOT of questions of people I meet. Often I know the answer, I want to know if THEY do. How a person answers a question when they assume that you don't know better can tell you a lot about what kind of person they are deep inside beyond the mask they use in public. So for my first question: Are you a man or are you a woman, or are you a trans?
In its efforts to get gender identity added to the list of protected characteristics in Indiana University's Equal Opportunity policies, the Indiana University Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Alumni Association (IU GLBTAA) is hosting a survey to get feedback from students, faculty, staff, and alumni about the climate on IU's campuses for transgender and transsexual people.
If you have experiences to share about yourself or someone you know who is transgender or transsexual and is or was associated with IU, please take a few minutes and complete this survey. Information from the survey will be used to convey why gender identity protections are needed to allow people equal access to employment and education.
