"Winnipeg student Isaac Cassels was anxious for months waiting to hear from his school about where he would sleep on an upcoming school trip."

"His class will travel to Ottawa and stay in a hotel next month."

This is an issue even as an adult.  I'm a PhD student, and I have no idea what to do about boarding arrangements when I go to other institutions or travel for conferences.  I ended up sharing a bed with a friend of mine who's a girl when we traveled to a conference, and it felt simultaneously like "I don't care because she's my friend" and also like "no way would this have been suggested if the people around us saw me as a man." 

It's tough...

It sounds like it worked out for the best. It could have easily gone the other way.
I can't even comprehend what it would be like if I came out back in highschool. They gave me enough crap for having long hair. I actually skipped a senior sleepover because I overheard their plans to cut my hair while I was sleeping.
