Purdue needs truer grasp of transgender issues

Dear Editors,

The columnist piece printed in the Tuesday issue about Purdue's Queer Resource Center struck home with me. As one of the few transgendered students at Purdue who are actively transitioning and open about their lifestyle, I feel that Purdue's effort to provide an organization for the GLBT people on campus is embarrassment to say the least. I have more than once been fearful of hate crimes being committed against me when I am out on campus, especially during the less active hours of the day. The fact that gender orientation was not a part of Purdue's non-discrimination policy was an issue that made me reluctant to choose Purdue when choosing a college to attend.
