Trans at UNC Charlotte
UNC Charlotte utilizes the term "trans" as an umbrella and inclusive term for those that transgress or transition between gender norms. This could include, but is not limited to, those who identify as transgender, transexual, transvestite, individuals with an intersex condition, genderqueer or non-binary individuals.
These individuals often transcend and transgress gender norms. They often find it difficult to navigate systems that are set up with only two separate gender options (male/female).
Some trans people seek medical and/or legal means to change their assigned birth sex or gender and some may simply identify or present themselves differently than their assigned birth sex or gender.
The purpose of the Trans website is to provide basic information, policies and support resources for trans students on UNC Charlotte's campus.

Pronouns
Pronouns take the place of a noun (person, place, or thing) and are used in everyday speaking and writing. Gender pronouns, therefore, take the place of people’s names and are often used interchangeably without cognition. For example, you may find yourself saying, "He took the dog for a walk," or "She is best friends with Norm the Niner," these are some examples of how gender pronouns are used in everyday conversations. This is because our brains have been socialized to make associations with how we perceive someone and which pronouns we use. However, this could be extremely harmful.
Chosen Name
UNC Charlotte strives to create a personal experience by allowing opportunities for every member of our community to get to know each other better.
One of the many ways the University is doing this is by allowing you to provide your “preferred first name” which can be used on your 49er ID card, in emails, in classrooms, and in everyday conversation.
