This is the one of many issues that I have faced as a transgender student while attending CUNY Colleges. Unfortunately, the discrimination does not happen to one student because of circumstance or as a result of one interaction. It is multiple people with similar stories and a variety of situations.

"Proper education needs to be provided to all professors, faculty and staff as a mandatory requirement. This is a public institution that works daily with a diverse group of students. The answer to a situation should not be having to file a Title IX compliant. The answer should be pro-active education." ~Nick Cevoli, 2021
"This placed a lot of the responsibility on trans students to change the culture when it ultimately should be up to the administration to do so. We want CUNY to become more responsive to students' needs." ~Arno Pedram, 2019
"Over the last three years at my college, I have witnessed, heard, and experienced multiple injustices towards myself and the LGBTQ community within the CUNY system." ~Jason Rodriguez Escalona 2019
