Sometimes, it is also being used to check the attendance of their students. However, because the contact list does not include the lived names and pronouns of students, professors may accidentally deadname and misgender the students enrolled in their class.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the letter, Punong Babaylan Anna Cubacub praised the OVCAA for Memorandum No. OVCAA-MTTP 21-029 or the \u201cGuidelines on Affirming Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming (TGNC) Students\u2019 Names, Pronouns, and Titles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the said memorandum, the OVCAA emphasized the need to affirm Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Students\u2019 lived identities by referring to them based on their stated preferences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTransgender and gender non-confirming students of the University of the Philippines Diliman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>have the right to express their gender identity and\/or expression, without fear of discrimination,\u201d&nbsp; said the guidelines from the Center for Women\u2019s and Gender Studies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also emphasized the desire to create \u201ca transgender-affirmative academic information<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>system (e.g., Computerized Registration System or CRS) that will recognize usernames and email addresses of both faculty and students based on their lived names,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, in their letter to the OVCAA, Cubacub said that the inclusion of lived names and pronouns in the contact lists is the logical next step, and makes them one step closer to a truly gender-inclusive university.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIndeed, the journey towards genuine inclusivity and equality is long. But, every step we take is a step closer to achieving our desired university\u2014a university that is a safe space for all. \u201c&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cubacub is optimistic about the future of TGNC-affirming policies, saying they were thankful that the OVCAA remained an ally within the administration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe TGNC was written by CWGS and realized by the OVCAA because they listened and they continue to listen to the experiences of our tgnc members and the rest of the lgbtqi students within UP,\u201d she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about where the campaign is headed, Cubacub said that they wanted to partner with institutions to make sure that, more than a \u201cmere set of guidelines,\u201d the TGNC guidelines will actually become University policy alongisde the eventual institutionalization of a UP sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSana di lang siya maging memorandum, sana maging binding policy siya for all to make UP a university for equality!\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image-2.png?w=73\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4005\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs has approved a proposal to include students\u2019 lived names and pronouns in the class list in class contact lists.&nbsp; In a letter sent to the OVCAA, UP Babaylan explained that many professors continued to refer to the students by their dead names and used wrong pronouns [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":5925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,11,12],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[122],"class_list":["post-5923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-news","category-news-features"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sinag.press\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/70315739_2509313805954880_373168383836815360_n-1.jpeg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4693,"url":"https:\/\/sinag.press\/news\/2022\/06\/23\/seniors-cssp-admin-meet-for-cssp-grad-rites\/","url_meta":{"origin":5923,"position":0},"title":"Seniors, CSSP admin meet for CSSP grad rites","author":"Staff","date":"23 June 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"The Sablay batches 2020-2022 raise immediate concerns, inclusive of issues on health protocols and logistics, in the Seniors' Assembly with the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP) administration held yesterday, June 22.
