从 人权运动网站: 

“For those people whose gender identity or innate sense of their own gender doesn’t match with that assigned to them at birth, 解开和表达它可能是复杂而困难的.

This guide was designed to help you and your loved ones through that process in realistic and practical terms. It acknowledges that the experience of coming out or disclosure covers the full spectrum of human emotion – from paralyzing fear to unbounded euphoria. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation hopes this guide helps you meet the challenges and opportunities that living as authentically as possible can offer to each of us.”

言论自由对于我们在集体空间中的归属感和认同感至关重要.

欧宝体育下载认为，演讲应该建立在我们统一努力的基础上, 尊重, 关心所有的公民. The freedom of speech ultimately yields controversy in communities that understand that truth is so complex that it can only emerge in mixed form. 就像两根木棍之间的摩擦产生火光一样, 不和谐的声音挑战, object, 问题, 批评可以为任何问题带来更多的光明. 同时, 教育的核心是使人类欧宝体育下载的财富唾手可得, 促进新的理解, and to support ideas and actions that will lead to a more just and more equitable world for all humankind.

然而, 当我们看着这个世界, 看新闻, 或者阅读社交媒体, we may be dismayed by the words being spoken and the actions that are currently taking place–actions that divide, 侮辱, 贬低别人. The Southern Poverty Law Center has documented a rise in incidents of hate directed at people of color, 移民和难民, 还有女同性恋的人, 同性恋, 双性恋, 跨性别群体. 这些事件正在世界各地发生, 在美国, 在南卡罗来纳州, 在大学校园里. 欧宝体育下载也不能幸免于这种令人不安的行为模式.

我们不寻求忽略公民之间的差异. 恰恰相反, we value the diverse experiences that each citizen of the community brings when those opposing voices struggle to persuade and elevate. 多样性造就了这种斗争. We value its potential to render interlocutors as agonists–those who struggle together in pursuit of some goal–as opposed to antagonists–those who struggle against opponents. 这最终会带来力量和和谐.

学术和教育必须在公民话语的氛围中进行. 我们可以在不侮辱他人的情况下提出不同意见, 冒犯, 或者伤害他人, 但面对恐吓，我们不会保持沉默, 嘲笑, 或偏见. 贬低人的语言, 贬低, 嘲笑, 刻板印象, 或贬低他人的行为与科克的教育目标不符，是不可容忍的. 因此, it is necessary for members of the University to recognize and actively resist incidents of verbal harassment and intimidation, 是否通过语音, 手势, 社交媒体, 电话或短信, 发生在我们的校园里. This behavior makes others feel unwelcome and is a violation of University policy; it has no place at 欧宝体育下载.

It is up to each one of us to make the University a community that welcomes and celebrates the essential worth and unique qualities of each person. We hold ourselves and all around us to a high standard of speech–forgiving imperfect attempts at learning to speak in such a voice, but continuing to recognize that the well-being of diverse citizens is always at the center of democracy’s aim at 欧宝体育下载.
