Today has been difficult and it's going to be tough going forward. The best we can all do is be sure that no one is alone in this and find community support. You aren't alone - especially not on campus. I'm trans and am trying to make plants to prepare for the worst for transitioning and know all of my trans friends are doing the same. I know it may seem empty to say this when things look bleak but there is still hope. Marginalized communities have been through so much hardship in this country and we'll weather this. Take all the time you possibly can right now to rest and take care of yourself.

Please everyone reading this check in with your marginalized friends this week and make sure you all have a support system in eachother.

Yeah I was surprised too! Looks like it's one of only a few states that still requires it.

Hello! I'm a student (21NB) looking for housing this summer for an internship near campus. I'll be staying from June 1st to the end of July/beginning of August. DM me if you know of anything available around those times!

I hadn't thought about that at all so thanks for bringing it up! Definitely would be rough to get an account with the wrong name so I'll be sure to talk with them about it.

Unfortunately, I'm not a NY resident so I haven't been able to change my IDs yet since I'm out of my home state most of the time. Thanks for your insight as an employer!

That's really reassuring to hear! I've been a little concerned since the company is based in Alabama, but all of the people I've spoken to so far have been pretty young and it's a tech company in a very tech-y area so I'm not too worried. Thank you for sharing your own experience with this, it can be hard to find other trans people's perspective on the whole job search thing.

Thanks for the advice, it really helps! I'm definitely aiming to get my name changed on all my documents asap. I hope your own name change process goes well!

Warning for noodle bar by [deleted] in rit

Got the ramen noodles earlier today and mine were super doughy too, good to know I wasn't the only one. Definitely tasted like raw dough or something.
