Hello everyone, as the title states: my college wants to see my birth certificate with my assigned gender at birth for me to use the school gym, which is supposed to be free and open to all genders. It took months for the school to tell me this is why I can’t access the whole gym; I didn’t select a gender so they don’t want me “to go into the wrong locker room” even though they are locked up separately from the gym that everyone shares. i don’t even want to use the locker room! i tried to explain “x is the gender on my state ID” and they stated that didnt work, they need to see the assigned sex on my birth certificate. do I give in and let them assign the gender which I don’t identify to my school file for all administration to see for the rest of my college career, or do I stay strong until I can file some sort of complaint somehow?
TLDR; school won’t let me into their gym until they have my birth gender on file because of the locker rooms, they won’t accept nonbinary as an answer, even though the gym is separate from the locker rooms.
