Texas college students report increase in harassment, mistreatment amid academic LGBTQ+ crackdown
"I know I could be a lot better off if I lived somewhere I wasn't considered a monster,"
"I'm looking around, like, 'What's going on?'"
""increasingly more hostile""
Transgender and nonbinary students in Texas report increased intolerance, harassment, and personal mistreatment on college campuses. Students describe peers openly rejecting their gender identities, physical bumping, refusal to perform small courtesies like opening doors, and a growing hostile atmosphere. Support programs and LGBTQ+ events at universities have diminished, with former Pride activities and ally summits no longer active. Campus resource centers faced closures under state action, and advocacy groups warned against attending some Texas institutions. Many students feel unsafe and believe they would be better off living where their gender identities are accepted.
