I really hope I get the cut right I'm still really new to this and the only Internet I have now is my phone just getting this posted twice counting here between and during errands has taken all day. I have a meeting discussing the possibility of acomidations tomorrow, Monday 9th, that I can tell they don't want to give me. I need to get them to understand why these things are reasonable and even necessary. If anyone could offer ANY help I would REALLY appreciate it! I realize there is a lot of stuff and don't expect anyone to answer a large majority of it but any input would help!1)Safety- examples of how issues, how we are targeted, how I could be harassed and be unsafe in my hall/dormroom/bathroom,ect. specific eg. attack at Cal State, your experiences 2)Privacy- TYFA stresses it's a medical condition, I'm REALLY self-conscious/disphoric about my chest and if I room with someone I fear it is inevitable that they will see it. I can't sleep in my binders bc I've tried doing that already and all my breathing problems won't allow it, sleeping in a sweater won't really work either for other issues I have but I can see myself having a breakdown over this. Also I was wondering about getting to and from the showers? Body towel infront of chest?other ideas? And getting my binder back on, I don't think it would work in the b-room bc of the water/ steam, but then there is roommate possibility in my room. I also use a med spoon so if any of them are observant they'll know somethings up, I would notice so they may be uncomfortable too?ways? 3)Presentation-I'm presenting on campus as male and using my chosen names/ male pronouns, I was wondering about ppl's opinions as to what I should try with my hall? and if you think there would be less backlash if I just 'came out' to my hall or I should do it more gradually, I fear it going through the grape vine if I take the gradual route(trans rumors) I am going to try to get the staff to use Aid for names in the dorm including the decor on my door but then comes getting the all the RA's to call me Aid (I don't see a reason for them to know my birthname?) the RD to call me Aid, who WILL need to know my birthname.if I do have to have a roommate when they send her the notice letting me put Aid on that-backup?my mail box if they have first names. Think of anything else? I DEFINANTLY DON'T expect anyone to even answer the majority of these questions but ALL comments would be GREATLY appreciated. )lj-cut text="whatever"
