Me when my college roommate complains to the dorm head that she doesn’t wanna be paired with a trans man (after signing a waiver prior to being roomed with me that she’d have no problems) and I tell my mom for support and she yells at me because I was out

I’m so sorry that happened to you, if she signed the waiver knowing what was happening, that’s really shitty of her, I can’t imagine signing it and then being mad. Maybe she was confused and thought she was getting a trans woman roomie and didn’t understand the language so was upset when a man moved in?

as an RA and trans guy that really sucks - reslife is a great resource here and your roommate is absolutely in the wrong both morally and in the eyes of the school. you’re right here and don’t give up until your living situation makes you happy

Your mom is victim blaming. Stop going to her for emotional support in situations like these clearly she has some underlying transphobia to unpack.

Like the waiver said that it could be any one of any sex or any gender identity, she assumed that she would get placed with a woman anyway and just assumed so few men would actually sign the waiver that she wouldn’t be paired with one I’m over it now (they’re now putting me in a men’s hall with a male roommate) but what really gets me is that my mom’s trying to twist this on me and saying that it’s my fault for being openly trans in the first place (in an openly left-wing school)

Yeah that’s really weird of her, like if she didn’t want a dude for a roommate, she shouldn’t have signed the waiver? I don’t get whatever logic she had in her brain

And that’s what we had to use to pick our roommates, but I wasn’t able to find anyone in time of the deadline and had to get assigned, I’ll likely be chill with this dude, we’ll just have to see (and it is very easy for me to swap my roommate within the first 6 weeks of school—if I’m not mistaken—if I absolutely need to)

Yeah no kidding (not in a negative way towards you), it’s something I really need to reconsider, esp bc she’s been trying to force me to hide my gender from my stepdad because he’s “transphobic” and yet lately I’ve been catching on to him using masc terms for me (I even got my first “Proud of you, son” and “Attaboy” from him, on separate occasions)
