As a prolific writer and popular speaker, Genny Beemyn draws from their decades of professional experience and research into the needs and experiences of transgender college students. While the results of that research may be found throughout Genny’s body of work, some of the most timely and relevant appear on this page.

To advance research on trans college students and further trans inclusion in higher education, Genny makes some of the findings from their research available to the public. Their findings may be quoted with appropriate attribution in educational settings and wherever fair use may apply. [Learn more about what constitutes “fair use.”]

2024 Common App Gender and Pronoun Data
As part of their ongoing research, Genny Beemyn analyzed Common App data for over one million college applicants for Fall 2024. Genny examined how the students’ gender identities and pronouns intersected with legal sex — including the first time “X” has been an option as a legal sex — as well as race, family background, pre-college experience, and other demographics.

2023 Common App Gender and Pronoun Data
Utilizing data from over one million students who applied for Fall 2023 college admission, Genny Beemyn analyzed the students’ gender identities and pronouns, along with intersections with legal sex, race, first-generation status, citizenship status, and more.

Trans Supportive Campus Policies
Genny Beemyn began tracking trans-supportive campus policies in 2004 for the Transgender Law and Policy Institute (TLPI). When the TLPI website was discontinued in 2013, Genny moved their data to the Campus Pride website and became their Trans Policy Clearinghouse Coordinator. Genny continues to make updates to this data on the Trans Policy Clearinghouse and on these pages.
