About the Program
New Title IX regulations and Connecticut guidelines are designed to help schools maintain transgender-inclusive policies including inclusive athletic programs and equal access to restrooms consistent with students’ gender identity. But for transgender and non-binary students, these are not single-issue problems whose solutions make everything ok. Community-based issues, such as book bans, gender-conforming themes, forced outing policies, and other legislation that is sweeping the country, also affect transgender and non-binary students’ lives and mental health. What are considerations in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for transgender and non-binary students in all aspects of their school lives?
