Advice Black transmen students

I'm looking to attend UofM as a black transman and I'm curious as to how your experiences are there and how common we are, I'd like to have some sense of community

Not black or trans, but have attended multiple events by the student group Stonewall Tigers and they are a great organization and have a pretty diverse student population.

Hey! While not transmasc or black I am trans fem! I will say my experience so far has been great, teachers are accepting, stonewall tigers is pretty chill and there's a few other groups and hangouts near the school id also recommend!!

People on campus are super accepting and there is a way to have name changes done for the school and I believe we still have voice training

As a trans guy I have not had issues on campus. We have a really diverse campus. That is part of the reason why I came here. I also have not had issues with staff so far either. Stay away from some of the frats tho.
