FAQ "trans*, inter*, non-binary (TIN*) at the University of Göttingen"



Do you keep encountering terms like gender, diversity, non-binary, or pronouns without being entirely sure what they mean? Or perhaps you are wondering about the options available at the university for a formal name change, seeking advice if you're being discriminated against, or you want to connect with others? We have tried to answer a range of small to big questions and look forward to gradually expanding this FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) with your own questions.

Suggestions are welcome and may be sent to gleichstellung@phil.uni-goettingen.de.



The FAQs are aimed particularly at students—including trans*, inter*, and non-binary individuals, as well as allies and anyone wishing to learn more about these topics..
