Saying might does not mean much. Unless you have some actual support that a university that actually prides itself on not denying [alphabet folks] access to their campus but has done the opposite, is unfair to them.
I can say might about anything but especislly if i give no reasonable alternate reason, you might as well not bother with the "might" It is clear that was your belief.
You are assuming a lot to come to the conclusion ND denied you because of your trans status.
ND is notorious for being extremely selective in all admissions so presuming it was based on your trans status suggests more about your mental place in life than their policies.
Exactly my point.
As to why I get upset:
It's what I do. I see your actions as damaging to the [alphabet] community. They do face discrimination already. When there is a person claiming (sorry, suggesting) discrimination with absolutely no basis to make that claim by a entity that has endeavored to remove such bias harms the [alphabet] community. They already have the actual discrimination to deal with but now are dealing with manufactured bias. Nobody likes a person that blames others for their shortcomings and since you are a member of the [alphabet] community, it is an expected reaction that some will view it as one of "them" causing trouble. While I don't even suggest those in the [alphabet] community hide themselves or their choice, anytime you start waiving flags somebody is going to take a greater notice to it. When people bring attention to themselves, they have no right to complain they are being noticed.

.It's actually easier for me to settle on that than to believe I was somehow snubbed academically
