I started a new school today, I was really nervous!
I went to the front office...administration or something, and got sorted through my time table. This nice guy with a broken arm then came down looking for me. He even used my preferred male name which is awesome, meaning the teacher had got it recorded down right!
He just talked about some random stuff and took me to class
Everyone was so nice
And helped me all day! They even called me "he" without thinking otherwise
One teacher asked for my name so he could right it down on his marking roll. I gave him my preferred male name. He then took me over to some of the other kids and was like "This young boy is going to introduce himself....just kidding, you can sit down with them over there"
It was awesome! One of the girls in my class already knew me from a different school as a girl. I told her about the whole situation about a week before starting school tho, so it was all cool and sorted
She was very accepting and tried really hard to put in the extra effort nobody else had to make when using correct pronouns
At lunch we were talking and she said around her friends "no she doesnt know who that person is" referring to me. She quickly corrected herself tho, but it wasnt dramatic or anything
One girl was like "did you just call him a she"...and my friend just blamed it all on the plane she just took back into Australia yesterday
But she is a super awesome, extremely positive person, and says things really well, so no one thought otherwise!
I got called "he" all day long!
I didnt realise my timetable had the letter F just after my name in front of a bunch of numbers tho. Around 7 people asked to have a look at my time table, just cause they wanted to know if I was in any of their classes. Fortunately no one looked hard enough to see the F
I have fixed that up...the magic of scanning and photo-shop!
I think this is impossible, but school has just become 50 billion times better!
