Getting evicted, but why?

If the other two staying in the unit wanted to keep the place, why didn't they continue to pay their rent and cover the rent for the person who abandoned the lease? 

Part of the reason why this is happening is because they wanted me to move out and I wanted them to move out so neither of us moved out. But the MAIN part of this is that someone moved out and the room for that rent wasn't being covered, and the property manager and I weren't told that the person left. They also didn't apply for rent assistance to help or anything.

What really had me rolling was when one of the people said that they want me to move out and they can replace people for two rooms easily, but they're not going to do it while I'm on the lease because just being on the lease is "dangerous". But in the meantime, they weren't covering the rent for the room that was vacant, didn't tell the property manager and I the person left, and one of the people that was still living there, the "we" in the situation, stop paying rent while still living there. They didn't apply for rent assistance. And they didn't even want to leave, to leave me with repairing situation.

All I can conclude from this is that the only goal was displacing me. No regard of whatever else will happen or how they'll have to fix it, or interact with it or all the hoop still have to jump through to even avoid it. Just displacing me, because they didn't do anything to try to keep the place. 

"Dangerous" isn't a slur on its own but calling me dangerous is a racial aggression with a lot of historical relevance. One of the worst things a white person can do is call a black person dangerous, but that usually only works for white women. White men are expected to be the ones that handle the dangerous black person. 

This white person is trans, so they gave up access to both of those roles in living their truth. They cannot summon the violence of white cisgender men out of victimhood like a ciswoman, nor can they get white cisgender men to rally behind them in their violence like a cisman. There are plenty of racist white trans people, but so few of them willing enact that old school physical white supremacist violence, because they understand there's more consequences for them if they get caught. 

However, even though the attempt at trying to summon white supremacist violence failed due to this person not being cisgender, the fact that it was attempted should not be overlooked. This person still tried to get our cisgender white male property manager to "do something about me." I also theorized that the person stop paying rent, because the white cisgender male property manager couldn't/ didn't "do anything about me."
