How will your parents know whether you apply for gender-inclusive housing? I hope you are able to work toward open sharing with them about your identity. I’d definitely call the school housing office and inquire of them how trans students manage their roommate assignments. Assuming the school behaves ethically, any conversation you have is confidential. Maybe even check in with some queer advocates in the UMich community. You are certainly not the first transperson to attend UMich and probably not the first one who wanted to be out only at school. Trust that there are people at the school who are on your side. Call the Spectrum Center at (734) 763-4186. or email Will Sherry, Associate Director. They will talk you through the housing process from a position of experience and a position that isn’t biased toward the cis-heteronormative POV.
