In the above picture, it lists some of your rights as trans and gender non-conforming students. I'll write them here in case you can't see it.
*DISCLAIMER* The items listed are for the United States. I do not know any laws of other countries, but hopefully they are similar to these.
Freedom of Expression: Some schools try to silence students who express their opinions about LGBT issues. If you go to a public school, you have a constitutional right to express your views and identity. Freedom of speech and expression is in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs): A GSA is a non-curricular student club - just like Chess Club or Fellowship of Christian Athletes - for students with a shared interest in LGBT issues. According to federal law, public high schools that allow any other non-curricular clubs must allow GSAs and treat them no differently from other clubs.
School Dances: Public schools can't stop you from bringing a same-sex date to prom or homecoming, nor can they tell you that you can't dress a certain way, or run for prom king/queen, because it doesn't fit traditional gender roles. Doing so is discrimination, especially since it was ruled in 2013 that banning same-sex marriage is against the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Students: Transgender and gender non-conforming students often face discrimination over dress codes, access to restrooms and locker rooms, and their chosen names and pronouns. Contact the ACLU LGBT Project if you want help making sure that your school treats you with respect and keeps you safe.
Harassment: If you're being harassed or threatened, go to the principal or another school official right away. Keep detailed notes with dates of all incidents. Put the school on notice that it has to protect you. If they don't do anything, I think you could sue them for child endangerment or at the very least get the police involved.
Privacy: Schools should not out you to anyone without your permission, even if you're out to some people at school. Schools violating your privacy is illegal anyway and I think that's something you could take them to court for, especially if you live in a hostile environment because child endangerment is illegal too.
