Change.org - Chosen name on student ID cards

The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) has a student ID card policy that is not inclusive of trans students. SCAD does not currently allow trans and nonbinary students to have their chosen names on their ID cards. This is not only a matter of equity, but also a safety issue for trans individuals—as it opens the risk of misgendering and deadnaming. Join Francesca today to urge SCAD to protect and respect trans students. Allow trans SCAD students to have preferred names on student IDs 427 have signed francesca boylston’s petition.

As the new school year begins many trans students  will be attending school on various levels. College is the place where these students can finally feel open and present as their true selves. Preferred names are one way that these students take control of their situation. SCAD forces students to have students IDs with trans students dead names on them rather than giving the option to put their preferred name on their IDs. This not only emotionally harms these students but puts them at risk and opens up doors for misgendering and deadnaming. This petition is a call for action to give students the option to put their preferred name on their ID.
