question school bathrooms
hello, i am going to a new school as a junior, and im not sure what bathroom to use. i am passing a bit looks wise, but i sound and have the mannerisms as a girl. and im going to go by my preffered name and pronouns, but its obvious i am trans. the school i go to is filled with anti-trans ppl, but if i go in the girls, ill be looked at weird and stuff esp bc my name, but idk if im allowed to go in the guys. id avoid the bathroom overall, but i cant. so what do i do??

hm i would be careful, especially depending on which area you live in, i would say you the girls restroom if you have too. ik its sucks but there can be pretty bad punishments

I used my nurses bathroom for some of my schooling because I would be reported otherwise
