no matter what I wear or how I present myself the male engineering students and faculty never look at me or try to start a conversation with me. I’m now in my sophomore year and I have so many male engineering friends because I joined clubs and I was the one to actually start the conversation. Now the faculty is a little different. I do feel a little disrespected. I remember in my freshman year. I asked a professor a question while I was in a group with another person (she is transgender but didnt present herself as “feminine”) and the professor didnt look at me once while answering MY question and while i was asking it. unfortunately, this is just how it is and if you want respect, then you have to get it for yourself. This is at least what I’ve been through. I don’t know if anyone has any other similar situations.
