I just joined today,
I'm a trans male, and I've been on T for nearly 8 months now. I've been out to myself and others for just over a year. (And it's awesome! =D ) I'm really fortunate because my dad has been supportive 100% from the moment I came out to him. I'm really dysmorphic though, and I've progressively been getting worse. :/ Like, last year I could go out in a button shirt and a sports bra and feel alright, at least if I slouched all day. Now I can't go out without either a really tight binder and a loose t-shirt on, or like, a somewhat looser binder and a sweatshirt or a hoodie, on top of a shirt or two... or I go nuts.
I'm a senior in high school now, and it's been my favorite year so far. I'm a part of the National Art Honours Society, Photo Club, and GSA. My high school is -really- LGBTQ friendly. I mean, we still have our problems, but we're really well off compared to other schools in the area. I'm really lucky for that too. The students aren't so knowledgeable on the "T" part of LGBTQ, but most of them are at least somewhat open to it, and same goes for the staff. Which I mean, is good, if they're willing to learn they're that much easier to educate.
I've been talking to my former health teacher recently, I want to be a guest speaker for the health classes and talk about being trans to them. I'd do a Q&A and stuff. If I don't get permission be a guest speaker from the higher ups... I'm gonna talk with some people until I -do- get permission.
Hopefully it'll go well, and maybe I could start talking at the other high school in the city too! I'd love that. I think, I'm really fortunate for my situation. (I mean, being trans is HARD sometimes, but it'd be a lot harder for me if I wasn't surrounded by such awesome people.) so I want to give back somehow.
I hope this wasn't too much for you... I'm prone to tangents.
So... Hi everyone!
