5 OTHER GUYS??? Bro I’d be terrified, your reaction is valid!! Hopefully they’re chill af, but that’s ridiculous your college is just cramming y’all in like sardines 💀

Depends what school you go to, some schools are different about freshman rules. I sincerely hope those guys are trans inclusive and didn’t just check the “I’m ok with lgbtq+ box” on a form and forget

Trans woman here who was in gender inclusive housing and was placed with three cis men. Thankfully they were all cool with it. What area are you in? That will make a large difference

in my experience suites can be real tight where everyone hangs out together or you’ll never talk to those people and it just feels like a hall style dorm in a hall of 3 rooms

are you sure they’re all cis? like, some of them are probably also trans

I agree however it’s partially my fault as I filled out my housing application late (didn’t know the deadline was so early) and there is currently a waitlist for all types of housing. So me wanting to move at this point isn’t an option. I will say he was very respectful about it and we’re lowkey kinda besties now just because he wasn’t educated on trans people (why he was uncomfy) and we are on a good track for living together after we’ve talked a lot about it all and he understands everything.

Well the school offers it as an option but I never thought I’d be in it as a freshman and was under the assumption that it was only for upperclassmen. I called the next morning and they moved me to a triple and i’ve met with one of the guys who admitted he is slightly uncomfortable with the fact i’m trans (he didn’t opt in to gender inclusive housing so i don’t blame him) but he supports the community and we vibe pretty well despite that and we’re both open to open communication about it.

I’m not sure bc none of them have any social media presence like anywhere that I can find. A few names sound like they could have been chosen names (i don’t mean this in the way that like trans guys choose names that out them but a few sound like they could have been chosen).

Your college should only be putting you with other people who selected gender inclusive housing. I hate to say it but that kid being verbally uncomfy is a big bad sign and I would get a written statement from housing about how gender inclusive housing is supposed to work, & request to be moved again w/ other people who asked for it
