Confronting transphobia
at Bowdoin, again
Last Friday, the Orient reported that transphobic language was found in a bathroom
in Smith Union. While the Bias Incident Group has convened about the issue since,
reaction on campus has been muted. In light of the Trump administration’s memo
about defining gender as immutable and assigned at birth, this silence is deafening.
Nobody’s direct physical safety was immediately affected as a result of the graffiti

the United States with a total of 29 murders. Already in 2018, 22 trans people have
been murdered. Of the 22 deaths recorded this year, 20 were people of color.
Half of current students were not on campus the last time transphobia made
the news at Bowdoin, but two years ago, when the Free Flow initiative first began,
someone defecated in one of the newly installed receptacles for used menstrual
products in a men’s bathroom in Smith Union. This latest incident is part of a broader
pattern of transphobic actions on campus, a pattern that we cannot ignore.
