McGill’s Policy on Harassment and Discrimination is up for review this coming academic year, and the Teaching Assistants union, AGSEM, is trying to add explicit protections against deadnaming and misgendering to the document.
The union says they have a letter of understanding from McGill to consider the protections as part of the review. AGSEM is seeking anonymous testimony from members of the McGill community who have experienced deadnaming and misgendering, in order to make its case that specific protections are necessary.
Union mobilization officer B. Parazin joins CKUT to discuss.
Neither McGill Media Relations nor the Office for Mediation and Reporting responded to a request for comment from CKUT.
