Gender-neutral housing at Bowdoin is a necessary step to create a more just, equal and free environment for all students. The present system relies upon and upholds assumptions of a heteronormative gender binary, and in the process marginalizes students who do not fit into this limited mold while restricting the freedom of all students.
