Child Abuse and Families with Trans Youth by Kiristen Hubbard

  In February, Texas Governor Greg Abbott called upon licensed professionals and people in the community to report the parents of transgender youth who were assumed to be receiving gender affirming care. The Texas governor made these statements soon after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated his opinion on trans youth receiving hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and gender affirmation surgeries. “Paxton issued the opinion after the Legislature failed last year to pass a bill that would have made it a felony alongside physical and sexual abuse to provide such care to minors. An opinion is an interpretation of existing law; it does not change the law itself but can affect how it is enforced” (NBC News, 2022). Many articles are stating that Governor Abbott is declaring war on trans youth and families by threatening to have Child Protective Services (CPS) get involved for providing their children access to gender affirming care. In addition to the families facing CPS calls and possible

Culture Is Not My Costume by Ellise A. Smith, M.S.Ed

As the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the Division of Student Affairs at a Midwest, urban, research institution I frequently engage in difficult conversations around race, gender, sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, size, and more. Most of these discussions are rooted in a lack of understanding about identities and the related experiences. As a doctoral student, I face similar challenges as I wrestle with research, articles, and thought processes related to culture. Oftentimes, most individuals are ‘surprised’ when corrected about their behaviors related to race, gender, culture, etc. as they thought what they did was harmless, or they state they had no intention to offend. However, it is my responsibility as a champion for creating fair and just societies to center my identities as a fat, Black, female (to name a few) to create equity. Therefore, my work does not conclude at the end-of-the-day and oftentimes continues outside of my 9-5 career. There are

The Importance of LGBTQIA+ Fraternities and Sororities by Christopher A. Miofsky

In the fall of 2001, I found myself on the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) as a bright-eyed and excited first year student ready to do “all the things”. Coming out of high school, I was heavily involved with co-curricular activities (band, student council, peer leadership, pit orchestra, etc.). I was *that* student. Thus, it was no surprise when I got to SIUE and decided to continue with my involvement. I knew prior to going to SIUE that I would join a fraternity. I am one of the “always joiners”. Before going through men’s recruitment, I met with the Fraternity and Sorority Advisor who encouraged me to meet with multiple organizations to make sure I make the right choice. As an 18-year-old who clear knew everything, I did not listen and went to the biggest and most popular fraternity on campus at the time. My membership with them last two days before I dropped out, but my desire to join never decreased and I vowed to try again the next year which is when the
