Earlier this month, Talusan was asked to leave her home at Telluride House, a cooperative living community loosely affiliated with Cornell that seeks to foster "self-governance and intellectual inquiry."

Her crime? Protesting alleged harassment from a fellow resident, who at various points referred to her as "a man dressed as a woman" and as having "lost [her] dick." A Change.org petition with more than 1,200 signatures has called on the Telluride Association, which oversees the House, to remove the alleged harasser and compensate Talusan for expenses she's incurred finding alternate accommodations.
