On Nov. 15, students paused for a little light reading, and for some, a little confused brow-furrowing, before walking into the bathrooms in the Library Café, Brower Student Center, Bliss Hall and the Social Sciences building.
On the doors to these bathrooms, laminated signs had been posted designating the facilities "Gender Inclusive." An accompanying sign explained that going to the bathroom is an emotional experience for individuals uncomfortable in their designated gender, and that the College was thus promoting a "Gender Inclusive" bathroom campaign from Nov. 15-19 in honor of national Transgender Awareness Week.
