Living in continuously oppressive social conditions threatens transgender young adults' emotional and mental well-being, as well as their academic success. Colleges and universities are increasing their efforts to create safe and inclusive environments for gender diverse individuals in higher education. Transgender students' viewpoints are critically important in helping universities make informed, sensitive, and meaningful solutions to the systems level barriers that transgender students encounter on campus. The present qualitative study examined the lived experiences of 11 transgender and gender diverse university students regarding various aspects of university life. Transgender students also discussed their viewpoints on and experiences with advocating for social change related to gender diversity issues on campus. Through the qualitative analysis of in-person interviews, eight themes were identified for what aspects of campus life participants desired to be changed in order to improve the campus climate for the transgender community. Findings also provide insights into students' personal beliefs about advocacy efforts related to transgender issues. Implications of the findings for future research and advocacy efforts are discussed. 2017-03-20 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1470228047 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1470228047 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
