I'd say the first step is to get a binder. many schools have programs that allow you to get a binder for free. if you're comfortable with it, you could also reach out to the housing department and explain that you're a trans man and as such you feel you should switch out of women's only housing. To avoid transphobic roommate issues, you can generally pass off binders as "compression tops" which like... isn't technically a lie

You don't have to start medical and social transition simultaneously. Would it be an option to start T now, present as a woman for the rest of this year, and move out (either into gender-inclusive or off-campus housing) over either winter or summer break?
