There's this kid in one of my classes I just started a little over a month ago. We became friends. The class is 4 hours, with 30 min lunch break, and we sit together (so we interact a lot.) Just like every other time I meet someone new they see me as male unless I tell them. I usually do tell them if I know its gonna be a longer friendship thing. But this time I didn't say anything. So for over a month now he's called me him and all that stuff and 100% sees me as male which was awesome. He hasn't asked name or anything. I even gave him some of my work and he hasn't looked at my name. So he doesn't know that. He has a helper teacher person and she's the same way. But today one of my old friends came over and kinda ruined it. She was putting a flower she had in my hair to be funny and took a picture but that wasn't that bad. She said she (referring to me) and I looked at the kid and he had the most confused, funniest face ever. So I walked away with her to tell her that he still thinks I'm a guy. She apologized a lot and told me she felt bad. We laughed cause now I'm in a messed up situation. I'm kinda looking foward to seeing what he does tommorow and what I'm gonna do. I'm usually kinda impulsive to what I say specially in these situations. So its kinda just whatever happens happens. But I'm also real nervous (for obvious reasons). It was going so good till today. My last day there is april 8 cause I dropped out of the class so its not to long. Its not just gonna be him that knows, he's gonna tell his aid and thats gonna be really weird. They sit right behind/next to me. I'm trying to look at this as funny and how were all gonna react. I'm thinking ill just say she didn't say she and that he just misheard her (even though it was pretty clear) or just straight up say it was a misunderstanding then forget the whole thing. But yeah, I thought id put that on here. I'm looking foward to tomorrow haha. I hope I get sick or he won't be there.   ;)

I wouldn't bring it up so it doesn't snowball. If he says anything just say it was nothing more than a slip of the tongue. Don't act like it bothered you.

I wouldn't worry about it that much. I've called lots of guys "she's" before and lots of girls "he's" before just by slipping and being excited about what i was talking about. When I go out with my family in public places, my dad still gets pronouns wrong most of the time, and people just think he made a mistake or they think they heard him wrong.  If he refers to you as she, dont respond to him, and pretend you didnt even know he was referring to you.

Thats happened to me before. I remember over winter break i went Christmas shopping with my best friend. In one of the stores we were in i walked away from her to look at something, and all of a sudden i heard her yelling my birth name from across the store because she got excited and found what she was looking for. Natually (but i didnt mean to) I looked up and everyone was staring at me. I was like "you mean mike?!" and that just made the situation 10 times worse. Any way good luck tommorow, im sure itll be fine. Let us know how it goes.
