[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a trans kid. There is gender inclusive housing on most college campuses today. So, if someone is open enough to select that, they’re likely going to be ok with someone gay. Is your kid ok with rooming with a girl or NB person if it happens? I think a lot of colleges will send out preference sheets, but if you were worried, you could call the school housing. My kid is a junior and doesn’t want to live on the lgbt floor/housing either, but I’m definitely going to make sure wherever roommate she ends up with knows she’s trans and is ok with it. It would be a really bad experience if they weren’t. [/quote]

By Junior year he should be able to figure that out on their own.[/quote]

Figure what out? That she’s trans? Ummmm. I meant that when she eventually chooses a college, I would never have her blindly accept a roommate who didn’t know she was trans. In this political climate? Hell, no. But also by me I mean we. It’s not like she would do that either. [/quote]

I think the PP to whom you’re responding misread “junior” as “junior in college” whereas you are talking about a junior in HS.

I would expect a jr in college, even if newly out as trans, to be able to decide about their own roommate situation better than the parent unless there was some  comorbid disorder, like autism for example, which meant that the JR in college may not understand or read social situations correctly.

I would expect a jr in HS to have more input/guidance from a parent about room selection. [/quote]
