OMFG so I'm Nonbinary and use the name River. I recently came out to my teachers and I was low-key expecting them to deadname and misgender me but NO my first class of the day is science. I walk in, "good morning River, your seat is in the back by the window to the left" HOLY SHIT I ALMOST CRIED I'm still getting used to not getting deadnamed and in that moment I wanted to cry my teacher ACTUALLY called me by the right name. Next is study hall and when I say I vibe I fuckin vibe. My teacher let me take my phone out and just listen to an unsolved homicide podcasts, so yeah I love that class. Then I had choir which I was most nervous about. The science teacher, he wears rainbow glasses everyday and has always been supportive of his students. Study hall, he's just super chill. And I have english later that day with a trans friend in that class and the teacher changed his name to be correct on his desk. But choir was fucking terrifying. I have 4 teachers in that class and 3 out of those teachers are over 30 so I was worried they wouldn't be supportive. All class they kept deadnaming me. But at the end of class I saw them talk real quick, and then yell "RIVER MY BAD I JUST READ YOUR EMAIL SORRY ILL FIX YOUR NAME ON THE SEATING CHART AND CALL YOU BY THE RIGHT NAME ON THURSDAY (the next time I have that class)." Yoooo and then english. I walk in and we have new seats. I look for my deadname on the chart cuz I was expecting to be deadnamed. I had to look over this paper THREE TIMES before I realized she put my new name on the chart. I sit down and tell my genderqueer and trans friends and they were like "OMG YASSS GET THAT NAME OOOOH" and then when I was gonna leave the councilor ran in and goes I NEED RIVER and then like we left and she offered to have my nametag fixed and I was like "nooo" because my parents aren't accepting and told me not to tell anybody because they saw it as something to be embarrassed about. Long story short I had a great day and didn't get deadnamed. Also today when I was about to leave to go to school my dad went to deadname me and accidentally said the right name. He was like "Rive-i mean *insert deadname*" AHHAHA SUCK IT YOU CANT ESCAPE MY NAME so yeah ✨✨✨✨ I have virtual tmrw and then I have in school. Bye
