I don't really have any followers but here goes.

College is hard. Because of how much it costs, as a society we put extreme pressure on kids to make a single final decision quickly. Oftentimes before they even know what they want to do for a living. College is a competition, where you have to prove to them why you're a worthy investment. For scholarships, too. All within only a few months. It's a lot of pressure. Making the adjustment to leaving home (as is usually the case) is jarring, and you no longer find yourself surrounded by the people you went to school with for most of your life. For trans people, however, it gets a lot more complicated. More under the cut.

Most college dorms are split by gender. When you're trans, where do you go? Will they let you into the opposite "gender" dorms? Are you comfortable with a cisgender roommate knowing you're trans? If you're a trans man, are you comfortable being with cisgender men? There's undoubtedly an underlying fear of being taken advantage of or exposed. If you're a trans woman, are you comfortable being with cisgender women? There's undoubtedly an underlying fear of being wrongly perceived as a predator. Will people be disgusted? Will they hurt you? Will they misgender you? Will they harass you?

Living in your affirming dorm means you are surrounded by cisgender people. Most trans college students are pre-op, meaning there is an incredible likelihood of feeling dysphoric because you don't feel as "real" as everyone around you. In the event that you have no choice and must stay in the dorms of your agab, you would be battered everyday by the dysphoria of invalidation. And this isn't even including the pain nonbinary people face. There is no gender neutral housing option. You're forced to pick. It's an even bigger losing situation because you will experience dysphoria no matter where you stay. (These examples are mainly considering trans people who experience dysphoria, because not all do) (Also I know not all nonbinary people strictly identify as agender, but I'm trying to make a point).

Some colleges offer coed or single person dorms, but these options are not universally available (as far as I know) and often more expensive. Trans people already deal with having to pay extra for basic comfort, so going into thousands of dollars in debt is not ideal (or always possible).

Although there is a clear effort, most spaces are still not trans safe or accessible, and until they are, students like me will continue to struggle and suffer--not just in college, but out in the world as well.

Some terminology for the 5 people on Tumblr who aren't queer:

Transgender - an umbrella term for someone who identifies as something other than the sex they were born as

Trans - shortened form of transgender

Cisgender - someone who identifies with the sex they were born as

Nonbinary - an umbrella term for someone who does not strictly identify as a man or a woman

Trans man - someone who was born with female sex characteristics but identifies as a man

Trans woman - someone who was born with male sex characteristics but identifies as a woman

Agender - the complete lack of a gender identity; not identifying as a man, woman, or anything else along the spectrum

AGAB - stands for "assigned gender at birth", referring to the social gender identity automatically associated with an individual's sex when born

Dysphoria - the extreme mental discomfort and pain experienced by trans people when they are reminded of how they are perceived by others, how they perceive themselves, and/or the disconnect between their gender identity and their physical body (e.g. when a trans person is misgendered, when a trans person remembers that their body does not align with their identity, etc)

Pre-op - shortened form of pre-operation, meaning a trans person who has yet to receive gender-affirming surgery or hormones

A big thank you to TransgenderFirst for this scholarship opportunity. Hopefully they accept Tumblr and also ignore my blog name and username.
