(I've just been dealing with a lot of transphobia at home, discovering that my dad will not call me Christopher no matter what I say or do! In fact the only fucking people who do are people at school! My grandparents, parents, siblings and rest of my family all deadname me intentionally and it's so fucking infuriating now!!)

Born on the 14th of August 2006 as a biological female, I never really felt right in my identity. I was raised in a Christian household where I was never told about the LGBTQ+ only learning about it when I went to secondary school. For the first year or so at school, I wasn't sure about my sexuality and so I just labelled myself as asexual, then I discovered that I liked girls, that went on until August 27th 2021 when I was up late one night thinking about my sexuality and then my gender identity, I put some research into why I was feeling like this and I just knew then that the label of transgender male was suitable...

The very next day, I had a chat with my step-mam through messages and came out (worst way to come out btw) and she said that she didn't mind. At this time, however, I had not decided on the name yet but the pronouns were good. (The name part came at the start of September, I think).

To this day, none of my family have called me Christopher at all. They claim fo accept it but then deadname me after me telling them millions of times about my preferred name! Now another point is that, around this time, I had came out to my school counsellor and she accepted it and calls me Chris and I asked her to talk to my head of year and get my name changed on the register to which she said she would.

Then, came one of the most awkward times in that office ever, I was sitting in my 5th period of Chemistry when I see my parents walking across the playground. My heart sank to my stomach thinking either I was in massive trouble or something terrible happened but I got my mind off it until my head of year came in and told me to follow her. I got to the school counsellor's room and they began to talk to me about everything that was going on with my head of year telling me everything that would happen if I did come out as transgender like, me having to use the medical room toilets or the disabled toilets to change for P.E and I was just sitting there, not really listening and actually thinking about what I was missing in my 6th period of Geography. Overall, it was so fucking awkward.

Now, here we are with it being 3 weeks since I openly came out as trans to my school and boy, was it good afterwards with all my year calling me "Christopher". I remember the first time I was called Chris was during form time, we had a substitute teacher and she began to go down the register and then said the name "Chris?". My heart stopped beating for 0.5 seconds as every began telling the teacher "There is no Chris in this form". I then had to announce to my entire form group "I am transgender!" And luckily I've had no transpobia at school other than some kids asking me strange questions.

And that's the end of that, thought I'd just come on here and tell a bit more of my story. There will be some more chapters tommorow so stay tuned for that.

Anyways, PEACE OUT, peeps! 👋😌🤌
