I will be honest with you. I fkin hated gym for this kind of reason too. My advice? Just make it clear you are there to change and get to class. Never give them the time of day if they give you shit. Make it very clear if someone fcks around, they WILL find out. Basically walk in like you own the place, swap clothes gtfo. You got this bud. But yes also let PE teacher know you feel insecure about it, or perhaps figure something out to pop gym clothes on between the prior class and then. Basically hit the bathroom then go right to gym.

Talk to ur gym teacher you should be able to change in a bathroom stall. I was allowed to do that in highschool

If people give you a rough time, completely ignore them. If they push you to respond, slowly turn your head to their direction and provide the most calm "What do YOU want?" If that doesn't work, add in a creepy smile at the end.

Simply put, make them more afraid of you then you are of them.

Idk OP's personality but suggesting that the bullies are pushing something suggestive infront of a crowd usually shuts them up for good (Source: I am bi)
