Alongside research articles, it features case studies of campus initiatives aimed at strengthening 2SLGBTQ+ inclusion. Several contributions centre the voices of students who are often marginalized within mainstream LGBTQ+ discourse, including racialized queer and trans students and those who identify as asexual. The insights offered by these collected works are particularly urgent given the growing wave of anti-trans, anti-2SLGBTQ+, and anti-equity policies and rhetoric across North America and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Citation<\/strong>: Woodford, M.
