Okay, so I got my housing assignment for this year, and as a decent, courteous gentleman, I sent a cheery hello letter. For those of you who don't know, because I'm legally female, I have to room with females. At the moment, one female, to be specific.
So, naturally, the housing assignment thing gives my female name, and I wrote to my roommate that I prefer Alan.
She asks after two emails: "I know you're female-bodied, since we'll be in the same room, but do you like to be identified as a male?" And then goes on to say she'd be cool with it if I DID, she just doesn't want to say 'she' when I prefer 'he'.
O.M.G. I am going to be able to be me, Alan, around my roommate. My roommate is going to respect my wishes and refer to me as 'he'. She's not gonna say a word about my binding and packing and is gonna treat me like a guy.
This is majorly cool, peoples. I am SOOOO happy right now. This is... HUGE.
