Gender-Affirming Room for Belonging

The Gender-Affirming Room for Belonging is a private physical space for transgender, non-binary, and gender no-conforming people to explore and affirm their identity and expression. The space is located inside of the CGSA (in the basement of the GSU). It was launched during the Fall 2022 semester and is currently open for students to use for free, during any time that the CGSA is open.

What is in GARB?

The room is stocked with a vanity that holds makeup, hair supplies, nail polish, wigs, and more.

There are also binders, gaffs, STP packers, and bras.

During select times, students can get their nails and/or makeup done for free.

We would like to thank those who have donated and sponsored GARB! We truly appreciate the resources, and GARB would not have been possible without your support.

If you have any additional questions about GARB, please contact cgsa@bu.edu
