Gender Identity and Expression in the Classroom: The Experiences of Gender Nonconforming and Transgender Students in School
DATE: Wednesday, January 16th
TIME: 4-5pm ET

This webinar will discuss the role that gender expression plays in the school experiences of LGBT students and the attitudes and experiences of gender nonconforming and transgender students in school. Highlighting findings from several GLSEN research surveys, we will examine gender nonconformity issues for younger students in elementary school and discuss the prevalence of a hostile school climate for gender nonconforming and transgender youth in secondary school. We will also discuss educators’ attitudes, efforts, and responses regarding gender nonconformity and transgender student issues. Finally, we will highlight critical resources for students and strategies for educators and advocates to create safer and more affirming schools.

Ally Week is about identifying and supporting allies to LGBT youth. Why? Because our research shows that when LGBTQ students can identify supportive educators and peers, their school experience is better.

This year, we want to make sure it’s absolutely clear: Ally Week is about learning to be better allies and recruiting more folks to step up to the plate.  Whether you’re a lesbian adult working to make schools safer for today’s youth, or a gay student organizing to create safe spaces for your trans* friends, everyone has an opportunity this week to recognize their allyship and take action to become better at it.

Sultana High School is censoring and discriminating against its Gay-Straight Alliance. The Hesperia, CA school is limiting the GSA from using LGBT-inclusive language and participating in activities like GLSEN’s Day of Silence and Ally Week.

Today is the first school day since news broke last week during Spring Break that the ACLU of Southern California sent a letter demanding the school district stop discriminating against the school’s GSA.

Tell them that they are not alone

As they return to school today, the GSA members could face retaliation for their decision to stand up to their school district.

Along with our partners at the ACLU Foundation of Southern California, It Gets Project, and the California-based GSA Network, we want to send a clear message to Sultana High GSA members as they head back to school:

We are proud of you and we’ve got your back.

Will you join us? Click here to send your own message to the brave LGBT students and allies.

They believe that every student deserves to be safe and treated with respect, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Help us show them that people all across the country stand with them against discrimination.

Day of Silence is in just two days!!! We want to make sure that you know your rights–and that they’re protected–so we asked Jeremy from North Dakota to record a short video explaining them.

If you think your rights are being violated, let us know and our friends at Lambda Legal will investigate! http://www.dayofsilence.org/legalhelp

Linda Harvey, an anti-LGBT extremist, said some ridiculous things about Day of Silence and LGBT people. So, naturally we had to fact-check her.

And show off just a small fraction of the powerful, courageous, and world-changing people who are using Day of Silence to take a stand and make a difference.

Whose side are you on?

aradovahkiin-deactivated2013061 asked:

I wish my school had a GSA. How do you think I should suggest the idea of it to the principal? I go to a public school in central Texas, and I am in seventh grade. Our school is only from 6-8, so I'll be out of this place in only a bit more than a year. But I want future students, as well as the kids now, to have a place and an organisation in which they can feel safe and loved. Should I gather a group of some of my LGBTQ/LGBTQ-supportive friends/teachers to ask?

That’s a great idea! Talking to your administration will be much easier with supportive friends and teachers by your side. Chat with your peers about why you think having a GSA will be helpful in your school, and then get a faculty member to agree to be a sponsor. After, ask your new sponsor to help set up a meeting with the administration to discuss starting a GSA! Hopefully, things will go over smoothly and you can start making changes at your school!

Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ Resources

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Before we get on with the post, it’s important to note that these are two groups of diverse people who are very unique in many ways! However, in light of the month, (and mainly due to the fact that a lot of the resources available online are for both groups), here is a compilation of resources for Asian and Pacific Islander LGBTQ+ people! Other masterposts can be found here (and don’t hesitate to add anything if you have resources to contribute)!
