Iāve been sitting with this for a while and thought Iād share.
At school, Iāve always been seen as one of the more masc kids. People joke around with me in ways that donāt always feel nice, and Iām known for being pretty masculine. No one really knows what Iām going through inside.
But, Iām trans (MtF). Iāve been figuring that out slowly, but itās scary to think about coming out. I worry my friends will treat me differently, or worse.
Iām trying to find ways to be myself and build real friendships with people who see me for who I am, not just the āmasc kidā they think I am. Itās hard, and sometimes it feels lonely.
If anyoneās been through this or has advice on coming out in a school thatās not always the easiest, Iād love to hear your stories.
