Annotation: Intended for transgender and nonbinary (TNB) pre-college students, this web page describes TNB-specific barriers to success in the college setting, including gender-segregated on-campus housing, name and gender changes, inequitable healthcare options, exclusivity in college athletics, and microagressions and harassment. It also provides advice on finding gender-inclusive colleges and links to resources for TNB college students, including GLSEN and ACLU’s Know Your Rights Guide, the Gender Odyssey Conference, the TRANSforming Gender Conference, the Trans Legal Services Network, Trans Lifeline, college scholarships for LGBTQ+ students, and a college experience guide for LGBTQ+ students.
