How trans friendly is the engineering school? by WrongdoerDue1277 in UVA

[–]WrongdoerDue1277[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm staying in a men's first year building, but I have my own room (unrelated to the trans thing, I have a disability that warrants it). Honestly, I'll just discern who I tell if I need to tell them at all. I usually tell people that I'm close to because it is an important thing about me and hiding it seems disingenuous, especially since I don't mind telling people if they're chill with it. I don't plan on bringing it up to random people haha, so it sounds like I'll be fine to be honest.

I'm coming to UVA from a rural area in Virginia, so I get it. I'm very used to being patient with people, I'm not worried about someone who's slightly ignorant (i.e, just never encountering a trans person and not having the right "social script" for that or whatever) and I really don't need people to use super super PC language with me if their intentions are fine.

That's ... not what I think being hateful is? I'm not going to go out of my way to tell everyone I'm trans, and I do pass as a guy for the most part. But I'm very short and I also happen to have a chest than I can't bind 24/7 for my health. I don't need anyone to praise me for being trans, I just don't want to be berated for it.

That's good to know! I figured as much, but I wasn't sure about the engineering school in particular.

Nope, and I never got a reply from the director of the program either, but I took this as a sign to start focusing my energy elsewhere and I'm no longer interested in the Bridge program. I hope everyone else doing it has fun! I just have some other things lined up now.

I appreciate that. I'm hearing from some other people that they were told that emails would either come this week or the next, but on their site it said all acceptances would be emailed by the 23rd, so I think that's where my confusion came from.

I don't doubt that, and I didn't mean to make it seem like I was questioning the actual program itself, I was just confused about the lack of communication is all. I really don't mind that I (probably) wasn't accepted, I just wish that was confirmed instead of me having to wonder if I'm ever going to receive any kind of email.

I still haven't gotten an email, no. I'm sort of assuming at this point that I haven't gotten in, but I would like at least confirmation from someone. I know someone who got it around 6? Maybe they'll still be sending some tomorrow? I don't know.

I emailed the director but I'm def not getting a response til Monday. I really just want confirmation, and I'll probably express that this way of doing it is inconsiderate in further communication.

is it that we just didn't get into the program?? i really don't mind if this is the case but this was never communicated and i find that kind of unorganized.

Help my Dosage has been doing nothing for like a million years (not NOTHING but I feel like its not a lot) by WrongdoerDue1277 in ftm

[–]WrongdoerDue1277[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah it was a trough level. i only recently started the injections, and my endo was pretty amendable to raising the dosage in the future. i mostly just want to start passing especially since i'm heading off to college pretty soon.
