Queer Alliance students want Health Services to be more inclusive of the transgendered community.

In early February, Health Services hired a consultant to examine how the office could improve its training, forms, environment and advertising to be more transgender-inclusive, according to Francie Mantak, its director of health education.

The hire came immediately after two members of GenderAction, a subgroup of Queer Alliance that focuses on issues of gender identity and expression, met with Mantak about expanding the office's transgender inclusivity.

When I lived in South Africa, the university I attended had a remarkably advanced health services department that was very inclusive!
