Everyone seem to be talking about transgender these days…

And we think it is time to speak up as well.

Because as chaplains we are privileged to talk to a variety of students every day, and we know that:

  • People are not either/or, but complex and multifaceted
  • Diversity makes the world more colorful and beautiful
  • Everyone has the right to live openly without fearing violence and oppression
  • All students should feel welcome and included on campus

The University Chaplaincy is a safe space for ALL students, and you can talk to us about anything!
