Transgender Student Safety ProjectTLC is changing school environments by working with the California Safe Schools Coalition to ensure that California statutes preventing discrimination and harassment against transgender public school students are meaningfully enforced. In 2002, TLC was active in the creation of model policies for schools to implement in order to protect their transgender and gender non-conforming students and staff. In 2003, the San Francisco Unified School District adopted many of these policies as district wide regulations. In 2004, the Los Angeles Unified School district also adopted guidelines. TLC provides workshops around the state helping school staff members and attorneys that advise schools better understand the ways in which transgender students are alienated from the school environment because of anti-transgender bias. If your school would like to get more information about hosting a free transgender student safety workshop, please check out our flyer or contact our Policy Advocate, Danielle Castro, at dcastro@transgenderlawcenter.org or (415) 513-5166. Resources: Beyond the Binary: A Tool-Kit for Gender Identity Activism in Schools: this publication, co-created with the Gay-Straight Alliance Network and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, provides students and their allies with practical and accessible tools to support their efforts to make schools safe and welcoming for all students regardless of gender identity. Generously funded by the Gill Foundation |
