Title: this is why i cant leave my room
Post by: anibioman on September 18, 2011, 06:40:23 PM
even my own family basically makes fun of me for not being born male. they make fun of me for not being athletic, that doesnt bother me because im not an athlete. they make fun of the fact that i have smaller feet then my brother when 6 months ago we had the same size. theyre making fun of me for being born female and it pisses me off.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I myself was made fun of last night because my binder doesn't get me completely flat. I was told I should join the police academy because I was wearing what looked like a bullet-proof vest under my shirt. Earlier in the evening, this person walked up to me grabbed my chest and asked me where my boobs were. I laughed and said "they're there", but now that I look back on it, it was pretty ->-bleeped-<-ed up. I used to get really upset about what this person would say to me regarding my chest. So much so that I actually stopped binding for a while, but now I just shrug my shoulders because I just don't give a ->-bleeped-<- anymore what people say. It's taken me a while to get here and I'm still not 100% out, so yeah....I'm not 100% there, but I'm getting there. I've realized I can't change what people think and say. Yeah, I need to speak up more and call people out on their bull->-bleeped-<- because it is a form of bullying. But at the end of the day, I can't change them. I can't change what they think/say about me. I can just do me.

I know that might be hard for you because you're in high school yet, but I found when I stop giving a ->-bleeped-<-, my life gets easier. Are you saying anything in response? Do they know how you feel?

That's a tough one. If someone is doing this to get a rise out of you, calling them out just will make them do it more. If it's someone you feel would care or doesn't really get how much this hurts, they yes, call them out.
