That feeling you get when you wonder if you should set the trans* flag as your lock screen, or if that would be too much and people will get confused.
*After GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) meeting, getting a ride from Al, another ftm*
"So, how did you decide to call yourself Ryann?" Al says.
"I was kind of born with that name, so it's gender neutral enough, and I kept it."
"Wow, that's so cool."
"Yeah, and I can switch between having two n's or just one. It doesn't matter how you choose to spell it."
"You're so lucky."
"I guess I am."
*Talking with Ayla on the bus after school*
"So, if you were to be a guy and somehow change your DNA, (Ayla doesn't accept the idea of trans people completely) what would you want to be called?"
"I guess I could just keep the same name, right? Maybe just knock off the last n."
So that's what I will do.
I'm glad my boyfriend gets that he doesn't have a girlfriend, but a boyfriend instead. He still continues to use "she", but he at least tries to change. I have to keep reminding him to stop using the wrong pronoun, but I at least hope I can change it by the end of the year.
*Joey walks up to me before school*
"I liked your post on Facebook last night" He said.
"Thank you" I replied.
The post he was talking about was my coming outas not a girl. I said, "I'm not a girl. Period." Hopefully things will start tochange around here now that everyone can see my post.
