Possibly Insulted????

In my school there are people who are talking about something called a he-she and to me it sound like a slang term for a trans woman and it is quite insulting hearing them talk about it. Im not planning on stopping them because then they may suspect im trans or try to fight with me since they are the brutes of the class but i do want to know have you ever been in a simillar situation before?

A few months ago there was a thread just like this. I think you're doing the right thing by not calling them out (probably not going to lead to anything good), but it must be tough to hear people to say such mean and ignorant things.

Hugs.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

I know exactly where you're coming from. I walked out of my P.E. class last month due to a HORRIFICALLY transphobic conversation between a bunch of cis boys in the weight room. I couldn't bring myself to confront them or report it, though.
through every shipwreck comes the chance to begin again, to rebuild anew atop the mistakes of the past

Hi, before I even knew what ACCURATE definition of a transsexual/transgender even was, I was called a 'he-she' by a classmate (who I thought was a friend) and I just didn't make anything of it that much because I knew I wasn't either inside my mind.
I am male because I say so and nothing more.
I don't have to look or act like one therefore.
