Yay the first day of college... This was gonna be great, full of teachers deadnaming and misgendering me...

I pulled on my binder trying not to think about it anymore than I had to and walked out of the bathroom. I looked over at my dormmate Alex and threw a tape at him to wake him up.

"Alex hurry up and get dressed" I said pulling on a white shirt and brown jacket.

I looked over and saw Alex getting dressed. Fuck guess it was one of those days where seeing anybody remotely more masculine than me would cause my dysphoria and self esteem to be fucking horrible. I put on my brown cap and headed with Alex to our classes.

I'm glad we had the same squeduale. We sat down in our seats and as soon as the bell rung roll call began.

Many names were called and than I name I never wanted to hear again "Felicity Merrick?"

I raised my hand up shaking. Wanting to cry. "Alright-"

The teacher continued calling names as I got a ding from my phone...

Kralie-
Hey you good BlueJay?

-Jaybird
Yeah it just hurts a little
plus if I talk they'll know
I'm trans

Kralie-
Okay well just know
I'll always be here
for you bluejay. Now
we might wanna get
some work done so we
don't get thrown out

This went on for weeks on end constantly being called a girl people using my deadname. Alex using terms I felt comfortable with wasn't doing shit and only made me cry.

Why couldn't I just be perceived as a guy...

(And now I'mma cry because I'm sad)
