It is clearly in the University EXTERNAL FACING web pages (and is marked to be removed)...and it is heavily biased that trans people should be prioritised and everyone else will need to accept the label cis just to make trans people happy...

Further resources for Trans and non-Binary people.
Trans and non-Binary people face challenges doing things that many simply take for granted – such as using a public toilet or changing room – fearing hostility and experiencing stress. Understanding this will help you in preventing and challenging discrimination. The environment can also be hostile to Trans and non-Binary people through visible Anti-Trans campaigns, such as stickers and posters, often in toilets, as well as on social media.
There are many resources available to help you find out more about being Trans or non-Binary, the discrimination and the hurdles they face in navigating the gendered environment (see resource list below).
To access the gym at King's Building you have to go through a changing room, which is either the female changing room or the male changing room so you can't physically get into the gym without dealing with these things and potentially people looking at you, potentially people asking you why you're there, people kicking you out it's so it's like there's so many situations where you are exposed to, like that, categorization that other people put on you. Just because you are the way you are, there's like no way for you to escape it really.
Some common terms you may come across
Transgender: some feel strongly that they are of the ‘opposite’ gender and for others, there is a sense of fluidity between genders or that the gender descriptions available do not match their gender identity at all. People experiencing this are defined as transgender.
Non-Binary: Non-binary people do not define their gender in a ‘binary’ (male/female; man/woman) way.
Gender Dysphoria: When this experience results in distressing feelings it is described as ‘gender dysphoria’. Not all trans people will experience dysphoria, but they may still identify as trans because their assigned sex does not match their gender identity and they are experiencing ‘gender incongruity’.
Transition: Some people feel the tension so strongly that they seek surgical remediation, others choose to express their gender without the need for surgery, but make use of hormone treatment, and some may not feel the need for medical intervention
Transphobia: Transphobia is the hatred, fear, mistrust of or prejudice against trans and gender non-conforming people. This leads to discrimination and exclusion.
Cisgender: 'Cisgender’ is a term which is used to describe people who do not experience gender incongruity. Not everyone likes being described as cisgendered, but it is increasingly being accepted as a useful distinguishing term to make writing and talking about trans people easier.
