Try outs are over though and this is my last year plus I feel like I'd look stupid if I tried out, My dad said I could but my mom won't allow it.

That sucks about your mom. Yes, the school has to allow you to "try out" unless there is a female football team.

I sort of know how you feel. Unfortunatly I'm home schooled...but I have friends who are in school and one of them is on the team. So yeah it sucks bad.
The worst part is that there's a female on the team and even if I did go to the school my mom would not let me join. She even told me "don't even think about it".
Maybe there's other things you can try to join. (I don't know much about the school system)
Is there other sports you can join?maybe basketball or the flag team.

We don't have a flag team plus I am not so sure if I would want to, I do like basketball but I wanna play with what team I belong on which is th males team.

I'd probaly play HB, Wide reciever or even running back, I am really good at those positions. Just wish I could show it on the field.

What part of the country do you live in? I'm assuming you're in the US so if you're not, sorry.

I wrestled in highschool and I was the only "girl" on the team. I just went to the coach and explained that I wanted to participate and after he ran me through some gym stuff he gave me a shot. Not everywhere in the us will make you play on a "girl" team. Would this be an option for sports where you are?

Yes I live in the U.S, I'd have to check with the school, Because all the principles and such know already.

Oh, I see, sorry. Yeah, that would be cool if they would let you try out with the guys. From what you have said the teachers and administration is cool with you there, so I would say for sure give it a shot.

Yea thats why I am alittle more confident with basketball rather than football. Plus I am pretty much as fast as all the other guys and uo to there speed so it shouldn't be a problem really. I'll have to see though.

Oh wow, that brings back memories. I remember doing P.E in school and I'd always want to be with the girls and not the boys.

Getting changed in a room full of guys was absolutely terrifying... I didn't know I was trans then but wow did I hate it. I used to look at all the girls and I'd get so envious for some reason. Ahh! I wish I could go back in time but as a biological female. Blah. :\ I'm sorry you feel this way, I think you should definitely give it a go next time!

Really? Haha I used to feel that way about gym I hated going into the locker rooms and at that time the administrators really didn't know I was trans only the guidance counselor did, So I didn't think about asking if I could switch, But I'd get glared at by the girls and this is when I had braids and got my haurcut so I can only imagine what it would be like know.. But I'll definately give basketball a go.
