Voicing Transgender Issues at Emory

Graduate student Anson Koch-Rein stands outside a unisex bathroom at Candler Library. Koch-Rein identifies as a transgender individual and recently created Trans-Forming Emory, a group that seeks to create a more inclusive campus environment.
Awareness happens in shifts. Small incidents that can spur discussion, question norms.

This year alone, a cluster of events have sparked awareness about transgender issues. August: A South African track athlete's sex comes into question. September: An armed man is arrested on Emory's campus while wearing a dress and trying to use the women's restroom. October: Morehouse College bans cross-dressing at the all-male school.

Out of these tidbits, a discussion is emerging about what transgender means to Emory.
