My Trans Life

Past

Thing is, I'm not in the most exciting chapter-worthy place in my life. But, I do have some past experiences that are pretty radical. I'll provide a small journal-like experience summary.

Just started high school. Big deal. Now, I'm officially calling myself trans. I hope to look like a guy, new eyes here. I was lucky enough though. 2 guys came up to me during lunch, trying to find some new friends. They used the correct pronouns and everything. I passed?

Ok, so we had PE (perhaps the worst class for a trans, but I actually like it. Not as much as comp sci and algebra II though.) But, we were doing a team-building practice. Let me just say, there's only like 5 guys in the class (including me) when there's like 20 girls. Large gender gap at the school. But, I was out with a whole bunch of cis-women. One in particular called me "glasses boy" and "flannel boy." Hah, she knows my name to this day and still calls me "math boy" or "flannel boy." Passed?

Another thing. This is a magnet school. All students here are for some sort of hard-to-get-into course. I'm in computer science. Most of the crew are guys, so they have a more honest perception of my gender. I worked with another guy, who actually looks similar to me, according to some other kid. But yeah, I didn't tell him my pronouns or anything, and still managed to assume right!

I have a little sister. Only a few years younger. But, I took her to a playground while I went over to the nearby library. I came back, and she was hanging out with some other kids. They thought I was my sister's boyfriend. Horrible, but at least they gendered me right.

My sister's school had a cool festival today. I went there (obviously) for free snacks. I also managed to sneak a small speaker in. I blasted a Rick roll and Spooky Scary Skeletons. Then, some kids shouted "UWOHOHOHOHOHO BAKA!" (Whatever that means,) but, they chased me down and declared me as their supreme king.

There's this girl who sits next to me in Algebra II. We don't really know each other, but she often asks me for help on some problems. I mean. Every. Single. Day. But, she does correctly use the right pronouns, and says "thanks man."

A guy in Spanish used él to describe me. For you English speakers, it means he.

10/24/2024
Oh, some girls in PE said hi. Couldn't tell if it were flirtatious or not (probably not, I'm not the most handsome guy here,) but they did correctly gender me.

10/28/2024
Crossing guard asked if my sister and I were brother and sister.

11/04/2024
There's some goofy guys who sit in the same row as I in computer science. But, they were talking about why they shouldn't move seats, in which they said "me, [name], [name], [name], and that silent white boy are the sigmas here." In that case, I'm the white boy.

Oh, and also this person asked in history about who was analyzing this source. Another said "he is" and pointed at me.

Oh, my math teacher. I asked, begging if the quadratic formula wasn't on the test, saying I never learned it, being in the shitty middle school I went to. The girl next to me knew it. My teacher said "Show him the quadratic formula!" Then they started to sing the pop-goes-the-weasel rhythm for the formula. What the sigma?

That's all I have in my recent records. In summary, high school is going great academically, socially, and being transgender. Almost everyone correctly recognizes my gender! (I say almost...)
