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.



Mine blamed me for slavery and wanted his 40 acres and a mule as reparations. Ugh. And wanted to steal my girlfriend which didn't go well for him.

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?
"I was told" that A&M housing felt it was less uncomfortable to put with males. I'd agree I guess.


So A&M housing doesn't agree that he is a female.

I have never been in that situation, but this would be my first step if administrative paths are blocked. I would tell the person that I am unsupportive of their lifestyle and explain to them that it would be better for both of us if they had a different roommate. Then, I would enlist this person to help me find a suitable replacement roommate. Once a supportive roomy was found, we either switch rooms without telling anyone or all march to ResLife and tell them what we were doing "for the wellbeing of the trans person".

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?
File suit. Seems to be a clear case of violating the First Amendment, no matter how liberal A&M's bureaucracy has become.

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

People don't want to live with mental cases. I sympathize with the kid.

Doesn't make it a federal lawsuit, but still something the school should address. Put They/Them in their own room.

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.

I mean... if they are the same biological sex, then who cares?

Would he be complaining if he was roomed with a gay guy? An athiest? Someone of a different religion? A huge fan of anime?

I mean, he's just living with a dude who will be wearing dresses. Now, if he refuses to use this guy's "correct pronouns", the guy then files a complaint, and the school punishes the student for that... then I would have a problem with it.

Also, I agree with what others have said... why are you a junior, living on campus? He sounds like a weird guy, himself. Does he not have friends?

Basically, turn the wokeness on them.

They don't get to make the decision based on what "they felt".

It's about what this trans person feels, if she is transitioning to a woman, she should live with a woman. To say otherwise isn't respecting her wishes and also putting her in an even worse situation than your family member is in.

I also think this a hilarious exercise in playing into their crazy fantasy; I wholly agree with him. Do this, it would be amazing.

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.

How dare A&M put a transgender female in a male dorm! In all seriousness, if I'm the dude in OP's story, I'm getting the hell outta Dodge. I wouldn't want to be the guy with a he/she room mate and the ration of **** everyone would give me for living with he/she room mate.

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."
Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really

According to most of you this person is and will always be a he and therefore you should have no problem being housed with them. I guarantee the uproar would be twice as loud if they housed this person with the girls.

Yup. Easy way out. Woke wins in this situation. Who is more woke? This posters family member.

I do feel bad for this person, assuming they're actually trans. I'm sure they don't want to live with a dude either, if truly trans.

"Pretend to be woke"

Great "solution" that will perpetuate the problem.


How about this? Stand up for the truth!

The kid wants to get out of living with a trans woman (regardless of how you want to label her). He shouldn't be forced to.

What are you proposing you'd do in this situation?

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 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.
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 room

Move off campus, hire an attorney to get a refund for student housing payment.

Good for A&M in putting this broken boy in the male dorm. My brother was housed with a flamer at Baylor his fresh year. He traded roommates at the Christmas break. In the big picture it's such a short time and my advice would be to ignore it and not get the normal boy labeled. Sad that this is the world we now have in America.
