I am very seriously considering going back to school. So much so that my sister has agreed to help me with the financial aid papers and all that since she just finished doing them for her daughter. I'm going to be going back for fashion design! Yay!! I'm excited.
The drawback is that as this chapter of my life unfolds, another will be ending. I will be saying goodbye to my marriage which in my opinion has been over for quite some time now. I am going to try and live on campus and make my way through college life. It's going to be rather crazy since it's been 12 years since I graduated with my associates.
The main thing I wanted to discuss is how to manage being transgender in a dorm environment. I am moving towards going through therapy and possibly getting onto hormones if they allow it so I am very much going to be out and open with everyone. I plan on living life as a girl the majority of the time. Do any college students have experience with this sort of thing and how has it been received by roommates, class members, etc? I just kind of wanted an idea of what to expect. I live in GA and I know it probably varies from state to state. Any help would be appreciated though.
