The National Center for Transgender Equality just launched the Transgender On-campus Nondiscrimination Information (TONI) Project. This site is the first-of-its-kind space for students to share college and university policies important to transgender people, and organize for policy change on campus.

At the TONI Project, you can:

1. Learn about the kinds of policies that exist at different campuses. Does a school have gender neutral housing? Does the University health care plan include transition-related care? Are there courses that examine transgender issues? There are a lot of things that mark a welcoming community for transgender people. Use this site to find out more about a school.
2. Sign up to add your school into the TONI Project, or correct information about a school already in the site. The TONI Project relies on you to be the most accurate site for this information.
3. Check in with the Resources section of the website for other information important to transgender students. And when you’re ready to take action, we have resources to help you organize your campus to be a better community for transgender people.

This is a great project that I had the privilege of working on over the summer. Check it out!

WAIT WAIT WAIT THIS IS TONEI’S PROJECT. 

Guys, I know one of the people who was a MAJOR player in this initiative…(not to mention I know Ryan, who I reblogged this from…obviously). 

This is HUGE and it’s a PHENOMENAL step in the right direction and OH MY GOD I AM SO PROUD OF TONEI HOLY CRAP.

Aw, thanks Alannah. I’m seriously blushing right now.

TONI was my senior honors capstone and something that I’ve spent a good chunk of the last three years building and maintaining…I’m super excited to see it finally going public, and I would love it if everyone would contribute something they know that would be useful to trans students.
