Before I start this column, I’d like to make one thing abundantly clear: I’m not the best person to talk to about this issue. I am not a transgender person and I don’t really know anyone who is.

I had offers of support from three other universities when I decided to come to Michigan State. My scores on the GRE were near perfect (I missed one math question). I had bachelor’s degrees in both biology and geological sciences. I received a very generous fellowship offer from MSU. Now, in my fourth year as a PhD student, my husband and I are expecting our first child, and I am closely following the proceedings of the GEU/MSU contract negotiations.
