What do you want?
Gender Neutral Facilities on Campus in Qmotion
Why do you want it?
On behalf of QM Socialist Students and the LGBT+ society we believe there is a lack of gender neutral facilities at Queen Mary, which does not reflect the diversity of students and staff. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the campus facilities, including trans students or students with religious adherence who may not feel safe or welcome to do so. There are gender neutral bathrooms across campus, but no option for separate changing cubicles at Qmotion. This should be provided alongside the two gendered changing rooms that are currently available.
What impact will this have?
This accommodation would mean the facilities at Qmotion would give more students and staff the option to safely and comfortably use the university gym, and improve university inclusivity and representation of students and staff, who may not feel welcomed to do so.
