Last week, local media reported that National Taiwan Normal University was considering a policy that would allow male and female students to share a dorm floor. Most colleges in Taiwan house male and female students in separate dormitories, while some have buildings in which men and women live on different floors and are not allowed to enter each other’s floors. Will discrimination against a transgender person disappear just because that person gets to live in a mixed-sex dorm? In the end, the school’s male students were allowed to wear skirts to school starting last month. Moreover, having mixed-sex dorms is about much more than just that.
