Definite upgrade if housing will make it happen.

Got a wierdo roommate from blind luck of the draw?
Welcome to the party pal.
Only good thing about mine was, I had room mostly to myself. He spent all his time in the commons: playing dungeons and dragons or juggling.

He rooming with a she that thinks she's a he?
Sooo
It's a he that thinks he's a she…..why then is it living in a guys dorm with a guy roommate? Shouldn't it be housed in an all female dorm with a female room mate if that's what it thinks it is?
File suit. Seems to be a clear case of violating the First Amendment, no matter how liberal A&M's bureaucracy has become.v1rotate92 said:
A friend of the family, a junior, is being forced to room with a transgender. He was informed by the transgender student past the deadline for room change requests. He objected on the grounds of religion-Denied. Anyone with any advice?

So wait, a biological male is being forced to live with a biological male? Seems like the other party here would be more grieved…

Then question whether Texas A&M truly advocates for living in fantasy land when they won't pretend that this person is a woman.
I also think this a hilarious exercise in playing into their crazy fantasy; I wholly agree with him. Do this, it would be amazing.BallerStaf2003 said:
That is definitely a difficult situation. Especially since the person is transitioning to female.
With that said, I think the correct Avenue for your family member is to go back to the University and state that you are not comfortable living with a woman. If they give him any pushback, simply state that this person is a trans woman, and you signed up to live with a man. Then question whether Texas A&M truly advocates for trans rights when they won't recognize that this person is a woman.

Woah………….I actually agree with a Baller answer. Talk about pushing the issue home. "I thought this wasn't a cohabitating room, and I certainly didn't sign on for rooming with a woman."BallerStaf2003 said:DallasTeleAg said:I also think this a hilarious exercise in playing into their crazy fantasy; I wholly agree with him.

It will absolutely get him out of it.
If they refuse, then go to the news and say that you're upset that A&M doesn't believe in rights for trans students, and that you feel
Bad for her that she has to live with you.
If you phrase it as "I don't want to live with a trans person", they will dismiss you.
You don't want to live with a WOMAN, and it is against your religious views to not live with women.
Don't be transphobic at all, be the opposite.

"Pretend to be woke"
Great "solution" that will perpetuate the problem.
How about this? Stand up for the truth
So on the surface, I would think A&M did the ok thing here. Rooming a biological male with a biological male. If you have people applying for housing, they can't ban someone because they are trans if they have been admitted to the university. Sucks for the roommate but I'm pleasantly surprised he isn't being forced on a female in a female room1872walker said:
Move out.
Keep pushing the issue up the chain in a professional manner. Do what you can to recoup expenses.
Eat the loss if you must. It's cheaper than the alternative.
Not another dime.

Tuition isn't due until Friday.
Go check out the housing contract and find some crazy ass reason to be out of it.
Honestly, I'm shocked that the roommate isn't demanding to live with a girl.
Move off campus, hire an attorney to get a refund for student housing payment.v1rotate92 said:
