Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have the capacity and reputation to advance LGBTQI+ representation and rights at local, national, and international levels if given the opportunity and guidance to do so. This resource guide has been designed with that in mind. If HEIs take the lead in ensuring that Trans*, Non-Binary, and Gender Non-Conforming students and staff are embraced and supported as part of their educational communities, the consequent impacts on individuals and society in general will be overwhelmingly positive.
