oof
so my roommate is from malaysia. she's like a distinguished honor student (like, shook hands with the prime minister distinguished) who got a government scholarship to study in the US.

a peer of hers outed her as trans to the embassy responsible for administering the scholarship and they're like, tolerant of her identity - but the worry is that if a peer leaks photos of her or something, it could get back home and attract the attention of the government there and get her support pulled.

she's in a pretty rough spot thinking about what to do next (talking about detransition or suicide). if anyone has dealt with anything like this or has suggestions we would appreciate them
