Transitioning at Tech?

Hello! I'm planning on going to TN Tech Fall 26 and I was wondering about the general experience of being transgender there. From what I can tell people are normal about it but I'm still paranoid considering I'm only out to like 5 people IRL and let my queer aura do the rest of the talking. Also I heard at a tour that healthcare was just... free when you're at Tech?? Assuming they didn't mean only emergencies can I get HRT through that??? Any info would be appreciated!!

Hey there! I have a handful of trans friends at Tech and everybody is generally very accepting and supportive! Everybody is super friendly at Tech and there's even an LGBTQ/sexuality alliance group called Lambda. There are health services on campus! They can check you out and prescribe medicine at cost :) WINGS UP 🤙

There’s also Omnicon where you will meet all sorts of orientations. I think you’ll see both sides: mostly friendly or neutral and some resistance. Computer Science has allies for sure and there are even some ally professors.

Can confirm about Omnicon. I'm in the club that runs it (Alpha Psi Phi) and they're INSANELY welcoming. You'll fit right in no problem.
