So today I was sitting in class with my book open. I hear the teacher say in the middle of lecture, "It's the page he has open--she." I looked up in surprise and couldn't help but grin. This guy knows my sex and he still called me "he", plus I wasn't binding today. :laugh: My friend who knows I'm trans caught my eye and started laughing at me 'cause I was so happy. It just totally made my day.
lol nice. are you out to your teacher who said that?
i get a lot of mixed pronouns per class. its kindof funny. i think the teachers are waiting for me to object to one or the other.
No, I'm not out to any of my teachers. My only thing was, I emphasized that I did NOT want to be called my full name, supplying instead a more androgynous nick (Kat from Kathleen). I present and act completely male, though; I think I confuse a lot of people (including the teachers, when school first started). I think my English teacher gets me. On the first day when I spoke to her about my name, she said, "Ok, I won't give you away." Heheh.
that's awesome dude. It feels good when you know you're passing. I can tell most of my teachers get confused when they see my birth name then see my face.
My name is a problem, sometimes. I have to always carry legal identification because people sometimes won't believe I'm who I am. Every new teacher, new doctor... anyone who's had to deal with my legal name has been confused.
