I'll Go With You: When trans and gender fluid students use gendered bathrooms ("men's" and "women's" rooms), they face the possibility of harassment or violence. Become an ally! Get information (and a button!) to wear on a jacket or daypack to indicate publicly that you are willing to be asked by individuals to accompany them to a bathroom where they may fear going alone. For more information go to the I'll go with you site. Lane has several gender neutral restrooms on campus, see our interactive map for locations.
