The Trans Issues Group, which formed in November of 2004, is an independent group of volunteers who are currently working with various MIT offices and administrators to explore and assess the areas of MIT policy and community life where trans concerns may be better addressed. The Group also advocates for improvements as needed in those areas.
For more information regarding issues you may face as a trans person at MIT or to become involved in the group, visit the Trans@MIT website or email the Trans Issues Group.
The MIT Housing Office currently handles student housing concerns around transgender issues on a case-by-case basis. If you are a transsexual, transgender, or questioning person who has housing concerns specific to your gender presentation or identity, you may make a special housing request directly to the housing office.
