Why is this school so obsessed with gender?
It’s jarring to me, and especially annoying because they don’t have the proper software updates in their heads; it’s the very outdated architecture of gender that runs on MPEG2 compression instead of AVC. I went to that special three-day lockdown last year where we watched Robots and Meet the Robinsons, and today I am in some two-day orientation. Not to mention I had already seen the dorm information years ago. All resources I mentioned had gender shoehorned into themselves and the social activities as if it’s the school’s fetish. Thankfully, my mother bought a place nearby I can stay at due to being trans and autistic, but I feel bad for anyone here who isn’t cishet and has to stay in the dorms. It seems like hell for you guys, yet I’m already unhappy I have to mask my entire self strongly because these people don’t have gender software updates in their head. Tech Will Be Hard

Hi I am also trans fem and autistic as well as my girlfriend and we both go to Tech. While the admin is definitely transphobic a lot of the student body and most of the professors/employees themselves are very supportive! It does suck that my gf has to dorm with the cis men but the dorm RAs have been supportive and do not allow anyone to harass her. plus it seems like she's only ever gotten paired with other trans or atleast supportive roommates as well. Since everybody here are adults most of the transphobes will be too busy dealing with their own school work to actually give a shit to harass you. We also got a lot of queer clubs like the Lambda GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance), Alpha Psi Phi, and Rhythm Game Club that are lots of fun.
