austere compass
hello!
im a transgender male.
im rewriting this because my previous post had some information that isnt accurate for me anymore and doesnt match my needs at this moment!
so im really not ready to come out to my parents yet, so thats already established. however, i realized i would like to come out to my friends and school for a new chapter of my life.
my friends, thinking that im a girl, know that im a lesbian. I’ve had multiple female crushes and they dont care and treat me normally. however, unsure of their stance on gender. i know one experience where i had a friend who identified as a girl who they know about, but they recently came out as trans. so when i used he/him pronouns, they asked "isnt she a girl?" i just said he came out as trans recently, and they were like "oh, ok." we moved on with our life. still didn't give me much though, probably means they are respectful of it, but unsure. i already have a whole paper written out, so i know what im gonna say. i just need advice on how to overcome the nerves and how to be a little more confident in hoping to receive a positive reaction.
there are staff in my school that, as far as im aware, are lgbtq+ friendly and identify within the lgbtq+ community. there is also a GSA there (gender sexuality alliance) so im hopeful that they will support me. however, what steps should i take? should i schedule a meeting? talk to the counselor? my advisor who is an lgbtq+ ally?
any ounce of advice helps. I’d love to get this done before summer is over or at the first week of school. thanks! (im so sorry if this sounds paranoid lol)
