PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
The assembly pledged their allegiance to the
CITIZEN'S INTERIM
The following citizens came forward.
Beatty Dimit: Mr. Dimit came forward to address the smoking policy at Mesa Community College and its non-compliance with city ordinances. Children are at risk and he would like policies changed.
The following individuals came forward to speak about the Non Discrimination Policy and their desire to have gender identity and expression incorporated into the policy.
2-1-10: CORRECTION TO APPROVED MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 23, 2008 IN REFERENCE TO STATEMENT MADE BY BETTE SHA'YEAR WHO SPOKE DURING CITIZENS’ INTERIM. MS. SHA’YEAR REQUESTED THAT THIS STATEMENT BE PLACED WITH THE APPROVED MINUTES AS ACCURATELY REFLECTING WHAT SHE STATED (listed below this correction is the original statement reflected in the approved minutes.):
Bette S., a student at SCC came up to speak about problems she had on campus. Bette was born with an intersex condition and explained that “intersex” is a general term used for a variety of conditions in which a person is born with a reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit the typical definitions of female or male. When she first went back to school in the Maricopa District, after using the restroom one student told her she should grab a rusty blade crawl into a corner and slit her wrists. Bette went to both her school counselor who was very understanding and she took this to one of the deans and requested some sort of knowledge that she was safe on campus, and that the student who made what amounted to a death threat be spoken to and dealt with. The official response was a list of the single use locking bathrooms on campus, and a statement that the dean could not insure any student’s safety. Furthermore, the student that told Bette to kill herself was never spoken to, which was rather appalling considering multiple students and faculty witnessed the verbal assault. Due to this Bette transferred over to SCC over fears of assault or worse.. While at SCC, Bette had few issues and any that happened were minor at best. This was until she took a lab science class where not only did the teacher have rather odd difficulty at referring to Bette as a female, he corrected himself quite loudly making it obvious to the class that he had this difficulty. This embarrassed Bette to the point she was leaving class in tears, because she was starting to get dirty looks from the other students. After Bette was already considering leaving the class, the teacher put up a naked picture of a hate crime victim…a preoperative male to female trans woman. He then proceeded to make fun of the fact the dead woman had male genitals, which was appalling considering that’s why she was murdered, according to the teacher. The teacher gave no educational reason for showing this picture on the big screen in his room, and after this appaling incident Bette withdrew from his class. At this point Bette was clearly emotional and thanked the board and excused herself so the next person could speak.
(ORIGINAL STATEMENT): Bette Shayera: Ms. Shayera was born intersex, neither male nor female. She stated that she had been verbally assaulted by women while using the restroom at Phoenix College. She received an intersex restroom accommodation; however, she transferred to Scottsdale Community College. She further commented that while attending SCC, forensics instructor Larry Turner put up a picture on the overhead of a transgender person during class and never explained why.
Kamerine Kroner: Explained that she was here to ask that gender identify and expression be incorporated into the Maricopa Community College’s Non-Discrimination Policy. Ms. Kroner explained that she was a mechanical engineer, a technology student at ASU, and also a research assistant at the ASU Polytechnic Campus, a campus that is shared with Chandler-Gilbert Community College’s Williams Field Campus. She further stated that ASU has gender identity and expression included in their non-discrimination policy, and as a person whose gender is often questioned, having this policy is important to her. Fellow students have gotten into arguments right in front of her over whether she is male or female and a professor once questioned her at length in front of other students about why her voice was so low for a girl. There is not a lot she can do to change now her gender is perceived by others or how they will react. However, regardless of what conclusions those around her come to or how they feel about it, she does identify as a female and on ASU’s campuses she can concentrate on her studies and work knowing that if anyone has a problem with her gender expression not being female enough, that a step has been taken toward ensuring that her gender identity is respected and that her academic performance and not her appearance is what really matters. Seeing as ASU Polytechnic and Chandler-Gilbert’s Williams Field Campus share the same space and facilities such as the student union, it would be comforting to know that she could walk across campus and be protected from the same discriminations the whole way. She requested that the Governing Board please add Gender Identity and Expression to the Maricopa Community College’s Non-discrimination Policy.
Milo Neild: Came before the Board as a Chandler-Gilbert student at the Pecos Campus. He stated he was a transgender female to male person, meaning his gender identity and expression was male. He was present to strongly suggest and urged the Board to add gender identity and expression to the non-discrimination policy at the colleges. At Chandler-Gilbert, he was required to have a name and gender marker change. Luckily he knew Dr. Lori Girshick who advocated for him with the school. In starting a new semester he was terrified to find in many different systems that his name had not been changed. This would have exposed him not only to embarrassing but more seriously dangerous situations. If there had been a policy set in place for name and gender change, this would not have been a problem and his semester would have started without fear or stress. The previous semester he was attending a class that included transgender and just at the mention of this subject many students very obviously and abruptly left the classroom. Students are the mass majority of an educational system. If a student reacts in this manner and the school does nothing, what is he to feel about not just attending but interacting with faculty on such a controversial issue? MCCCD has included sex orientation but does a student bring their gay or lesbian partner to school every day? His discrimination is based on his very own gender which he brings to the classroom and the public restrooms. How is he to focus on his educational success if his own person is not protected? Again he asked as a transgender student at MCCCD to add gender identity and expression to the non-discrimination policy and ensure his educational success and safety in doing so. He thanked the Board for their time.
Dr. Rebecca Allison, American Medical Association: Dr. Allison is a cardiologist and Chair of the AMA Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Committee. She commented that gender identity was adopted by the American Medical Association and opposes discrimination based on gender identity.
Michele DelaFrenie: Ms. DelaFrenie is a student at Scottsdale Community College. She transitioned to a woman in 1994 and stated there are many issues she has faced having gone back to school as a woman and a re-entry student. By allowing this policy to move forward would allow students to feel safe and would make life easier for many people who face these same circumstances.
Michelle Lynn: Ms. Lynn is a former employee of MCCCD at Glendale Community College. Without protection there is fear. Without protection many comments can be made. She resigned on February 10, 2006 and shortly after that she heard many comments that many people knew about her. 10% of the comments were nasty and created fear. Transgenders are not protected and many negative comments are heard.
Erica Keppler: Ms. Keppler is a transsexual woman attending PVCC. She stated that transgender people are 17 times more likely to be murdered than members of the general population. Prejudice is deeply entrenched. People feel an entitlement to criticize and ridicule and are conditioned to not see transgenders as people at all. They are not hurting anyone but the public sees no problem in hurting them because of what they are. Gender identity discrimination is a form of sex discrimination. Voting in favor of the policy will prevent litigation in the future. Education is the best hope to survive in this economy and society. Without this, they will be left with little option besides welfare and the street.
Annie Franklin: Ms. Franklin is a member of Family Watch International, an organization that promotes and protects family values. They feel great compassion for those that have this disorder; however, it results in negative consequences for other students. This is a very controversial topic and they will present more details at the meeting scheduled for October 13.
