Changes regarding University Sports
There have been a few changes at TU Berlin’s university sports center that affect queer people.
1. there are now four gender-neutral toilets in the sports facility in Dovestraße, which are only labeled „WC“
2. there will soon be gender-neutral changing rooms in sports room H4032 (main building). There is a survey on display asking students how the situation there should best be resolved. So please answer the survey if you have any ideas on how this could be implemented
3. it is planned to install individual cubicles in as many shared changing rooms and showers as possible
4. on the university sports website you will now find equal opportunities representatives who you can also contact in the event of discrimination against queer people
5. the TU gym is looking for a better solution to assign door codes for the changing rooms
6. there are more and more FLINTA or LGBTQIA+ courses in the martial arts area, so be sure to check out the website to see what’s on offer
We are of course happy about these changes and they are definitely a step in the right direction. At the same time we want to emphasize that many queer people continue to be excluded from university sports offers, for example because there are no gender-neutral changing rooms or because trainers are not sufficiently sensitized. We are still looking for improvements!
We hope that these changes will improve your experiences in university sports. Feel free to get in touch with us if you have anything else to tell us about university sports
