"In an effort to educate students about gender and sexual identity, University Housing and Dining Services and The Pride Center will host "Gender Our Cookie" in Arnold Dining Hall today from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., where students decorate gingerbread cookies to illustrate the gender spectrum. . . . Brandi Douglas, Interim Assistant Director of Diversity Initiatives and Programs, said that the idea of decorating cookies during the event derives from a popular educational infographic called "The Genderbread Person." The infographic uses a gingerbread cookie as a model to teach about the deconstruction of gender into certain components."
