Pronoun stickers handed out during visits. Odd “gender neutral” language used by staff and student guides. College services help students access hormones , name and ID changes. Extremely woke, leaning radical politics and culture in the college of liberal arts (CAS). Very little diversity of thought. “Queer” appears to be the shape of today’s youthquake. Do not count on your child being housed by their sex, everything is “gender”. Our child entered NYU tentative about trans and came out of NYU firmly entrenched in it. ~ Parent
