Abstract
The experiences and needs of college students who identify on the transgender spectrum (androgynous, gender nonconforming, genderqueer, transfeminine, transmaculine, transgender, etc.) have begun to be explored in recent years, but this work has largely been limited to four-year colleges and universities. Virtually no research has considered the lives of transgender students at community colleges. Yet, transgender and gender nonconforming students may be more likely to attend two-year institutions because of gender-identity-based prejudice and discrimination in education and employment. After describing the problems often faced by transgender community college students and the ways in which their campuses largely fail to meet their needs, the article offers suggestions for making community colleges more transgender inclusive and supportive.
