New School

[JustAnotherTrans]

I've moved once again and will be starting at a new school next year.
I don't know if I'll be accepted as a trans like I was at my school before. I'm also not sure if I'll be abled to have my preffered name on the roll instead of my given name, and be able to wear the male's uniform (if it is different from female's). And if I am allowed to? I know I will not be seen as male from anyone, because my voice is too high and I don't know any trans friendly gps around where I live  (I live in Adelaide, if anyone knows of any I'd be quite pleased) to give me a prescription for Testosterone. I'm also not staying here for long, only till around this time next year.

Sometimes I wish I was just happy with being female, so everything wouldn't be so hard...

Adelaide Australia? If so then you might try the FTM Australia website, they have a lot of resources on there, and if you contact them they can send you a list of professionals who work with transgender people. Hopefully you can find someone from that list in your area to work with towards T.

As to the School issue, I would say ring and ask if there's a counsellor or student services manager you can talk to. If you can, have a meeting with them and just calmly explain your situation; it shouldn't be a problem for them to put your preferred name in the roll, and for them to allow you to wear the male uniform.

Yes, Adelaide Australia.
Thanks for the site info, hopefully it actually gets me somewhere!

I'll be going to the school sometime this week to get enrolled for next year, maybe I can talk to the principal about it.
