Finding a safe school shouldn't be this hard.

We rate colleges on how safe and supportive they actually are for transgender students — and give you the tools to check any school yourself, listed or not.

⚠ Quick Exit takes you to weather.com instantly, but it doesn't clear your browser history. If someone might check your history or back button, keep that in mind.

IS THIS REAL RESEARCH?

Yes — and we show our work.

Every rating comes from a structured methodology, not a vibe. We survey schools directly, using the same interview questions we publish for you to use yourself, and we're transparent about which schools have responded and which haven't answered yet.

A school missing from the rankings means we don't have an answer yet — not a bad rating.

DOES IT MEASURE WHAT MATTERS TO ME?

Ten categories, scored 0–5, so nothing hides behind a single number.

Every school is evaluated the same way. Here's an example of how the ten categories break down for one rated school — full detail lives on each school's entry in Rankings.

Healthcare access4/5
Housing policy3/5
Name & ID changes5/5
Nondiscrimination policy4/5
Campus climate3/5
Title IX exceptions2/5

WHY THIS PROJECT EXISTS

I started this because I'm looking for schools right now.

I started this project because I am looking for schools currently, and it's much harder to find safe schools than it is for my cis friends and classmates. This isn't about sympathy — it's an information gap, and this site is here to close it.

Wherever you're starting, there's a next step

Your school might already be rated — or you might be the one who finds out.

A few common questions

Will my school know I submitted feedback?

No. Nothing you share is published with your name unless you specifically agree to it.

What does it mean if my school isn't rated yet?

It means we don't have an answer yet — not that the school scored poorly. Schools are added as they respond to our survey.

Does the Quick Exit button clear my history?

No. It takes you to weather.com instantly, but your browser's back button and autocomplete may still show this site.
