Hello
Im 15, ftm at school and stealth. My school has a really big LGBT group, theres me, a ftm, a girl who's mtf, gay/lesbian students and then some genderfluid/thinking about transgender students.
I don't have any problems with bullying, and the people who do know are completely fine with it, im even in one of the main sports all-boys teams.
There are three genderfluid people, and two of them I don't have any problems with, theyre great people, really cool, but then one person/girl who's recently come out, is really feminine, is joining too.
I know everyone has a right to be treated the way they want to, but I'm really uncomfortable with this as theyre such a loud person, I don't want people seeing them/her and then associating them/her with me, since theyre very obviously girly and feminine.
I'm not sure what I should do because I don't want to discriminate, but at the same time I don't really like it.
Help?

Hi, you don't have to be friends with anyone you don't want to. However, you need to look inside yourself to fix this. Everyone has the right to present as they wish, and realizing we don't have to meet others expectations is the moment of liberation for many of us. You may be projecting your fears and insecurities onto someone else in this case.

So what should you do? Understand that who this person is and what they do is completely up to them. If you can't accept and embrace them, then you should avoid them. You're not discriminating against anyone if you decide to go where there aren't loud or girly/feminine people. If you ask/tell the loud/girly/feminine people they aren't welcome (I'm not saying you are), that crosses into discrimination.

Hope this helps!

Hugs, Devlyn
