Physicists of Underrepresented Genders

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON

Inclusivity Statement

Physicists of Underrepresented Genders is an organization for anyone in physics who feels like this space would help them.

This includes women, people of marginalized gender, and those who are questioning their gender. We aim to be an inclusive community to help people of marginalized gender network, study, and find community. This space is explicitly trans-inclusive, and only those who can respect this are welcome. We want to create a space where all experiences of gender are respected, and intersecting experiences with race, sexuality, etc. are embraced. If you feel this goal is not being upheld please reach out to any officer individually or the community as a whole.

If you have any feedback on these rules, would like to report violations of these rules, or just talk about general comfortability in this space, please feel free to message anyone on our officer team or use our anonymous form.

Sincerely, your UW PUGs officers.
