Transgender Day of Remembrance: Make a commitment

Transgender and gender-nonconforming youth experience high levels of harassment and assault in school, which negatively affects school performance and academic aspirations. By committing to supporting the transgender and gender-nonconforming youth in your school, you can do your part to make sure that all students, including TGNC students are safe and respected in school.

I commit to supporting transgender and gender-nonconforming youth by making a commitment to:

• Not to use gender-biased language or transphobic slurs.
• Not assume anyone's gender identity and ask respectfully how a person identifies.
• Respect the diversity of all gender identities and expressions.

By making this commitment, I am working to make my school safer for all students, regardless of gender identity or gender expression.
