EBIO wants all members of the CU community to know that we support you regardless of your sexual or gender identity.听 You will always have a home in EBIO where we will do our best to respect and value you.听 Furthermore, as biologists we know that there is not a single gene, nor a single chromosome, nor a single aspect of morphology that unambiguously defines every human as 100% male or 100% female.听 Many of us have spent our careers studying variation in the natural world, and it is nothing short of a repudiation of biological science itself to try to deny that variation by using law or policy to force every human being into some permanent, binary categorization at birth.听 We reject any attempt to use biological science to oppress any specific group of human beings or deny them their humanity.
