School

[Kentrie]

So I went back to day school yesterday and they gave me a completely different schedual so I'm in a 9th grade Algebra class and they all thought I was a boy and most of the girls said "I think he's cute" and I was getting ready to flip out and have an anxiety attack and then the sub asked me my name and I wouldn't answer him and then the girls kept asking my name and the sub said "don't tell the girls your name or they'll be calling you later" and I was like "Oh ->-bleeped-<-! I have to get out of here" and the real teacher now knows I'm a girl because the counselor told her so what am I going to do when she calls me "she" there's a big "that's a dude" and then they find out I'm biologically female and the girls who said that get pissed off because they would think they were a lesbian and get mad at me for making them question their sexuality?

Hi Kentrie, sorry to hear of what looks like a big problem. 
totally outside my experience so maybe you need to get teachers together to work out how to solve the puzzle.
From all the other posters on Susan's you know things generally work out OK in school.

Maybe ask your teacher if the next time he/she is out, if he/she could let the sub know about the situation so they don't blow your cover.

I suggest you try talking to your teachers asap about them using male pronouns and such, I hope it all goes well! And just out of curiosity, is your name legally changed to a male name?

Why don't you ask your counselor if you can have a meeting with all of your teachers and someone from administration and tell them all what is going on. Then they can mark on their papers that you are going to be called by your male name and male pronouns so then even subs will know. Let the administrators know that you don't want anything changed officially but you would just like it changed so that no one has to know you as female.

My birth name is Kentrie so I have nothing to worry about.

That is also a problem. If I tell them to refer to me as male, do I need a note or something from a therapist? I only have one Freshman class so if the teachers refer to me as male in my own grade class then everyone will be like"wtf". The Freshman class I have also has the boy who is somewhat dating the girl I love in it, and some people on here will remember my post about this,when I went back to school I have avoided them constantly but he's in my Algebra class and if he makes me mad then I will punch him in the face, so I'm afraid he will out me even if I get the teachers to refer to me as male.
