摘要

Numbers of university students who identify beyond the gender binary are increasing (Dolan & Matsuno, Safety strategies and the impact of misgendering among nonbinary college students: A minority stress perspective. Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, Advance online publication. https://psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/dhe0000544 , 2023; Budge et al., Minority stress in nonbinary students in higher education: The role of campus climate and belongingness. Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity, 7(2), 222–229. https://doi.org/10.1037/sgd0000360 , 2020). Yet, evidence suggests that university can be a significant site of gender-based harm for transgender or non-binary students (Matsuno et al., ‘The default is just going to be getting misgendered’: Minority stress experiences among nonbinary adults. Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity, 11(2), 202–214. https://doi.org/10.1037/sgd0000607 , 2022). This chapter uses qualitative data to analyse students’ perceptions of safety on campus and their experiences of gender-based harm (GBV) while studying at university. The data illuminates the role of institutional policies and practices in the perpetuation of gender-based harm for these students and the concomitant effects of this on their ability to engage with their studies.
