And it just keeps getting better

This guy in my film and television class at school came up to me and said, "wow! you look like Taylah! I mean, you look like a boy version of her, but you look like her twin" I found out Taylah was some girl who he hangs with I didnt really know what to think of his comment, but a "boy version" of anyone was good to hear 

This really cute girl who has a crush on me, let me hold her handbag around my shoulder. I playfully started  pulled stuff out making comments. I could tell she really enjoyed the whole flirting of it My two other friends then came up and jokingly asked me as a dare..."what I would do if I woke up with a penis one day?" which I thought was pretty funny because they think I am 110% male and know nothing about my FTM history, and were making fun of the fact I was being a girl by holding the handbag. They went on to say how they would buy me all this lipstick, make up and other girly accessories for Christmas I then got a full explanation on how tampons worked, and how I would never understand completely, and how lucky I was not to need them

I am friends with a group of boys and girls And for the most part, all 200 grade 11s in the school dont have too bigger issues with one an other. In the group I hang with, two of the girls are lesbian, and one boy is gay. No one really picks on them for it at all. And if anything happens to slip out about me being FTM, they seem like a really supportive bunch 

The only problem I have yet to face is getting the big fat F on the class roll up the front of the classroom changed to an M. Hmm, explaining this to my teacher and why I had the "female"box checked in my enrolment form could be interesting. Fortunately my name hasnt yet been added to the roll, but I know that its time is coming soon  scary!

Anyway, I just felt like I needed to say something to someone out there! My mum and dad wouldnt understand, and my friends dont even know, so this was all I had left So even if you didnt read it all, at least it gets it out of my mind  Anything awesome happening to you right now? Never give up...cause it really does just get better

Seriously, how do you manage to keep it a secret at school if the teachers think you're F?

I'm going to a new school to start year 11 next year and my doctor said it was basically impossible?

Ennnvvvyyyy. Haha. I'm really happy for you though

I honestly dont know how they are working it out, I think the office and my music teacher are the only ones who have my birth gender recorded down, everyone else is taking guesses. I know as soon as that new roll gets printed, that my name will be on it, with the scary F Ive gotta get some details changed so this doesnt happen However, my maths teacher fully calls me sir, he doesnt know at all 

It really isnt all that impossible I was able to put down a preferred male name. You could try that?
