Shortly before I came out to my school and changed my name with them, I had some non-trans surgery that exempted me from PE for nine months. They said that they would address the problem of PE after that ran out. Well, it's about to.

The school has so far been pretty supportive, if a little clueless, and they're likely to look to us (my parents and I) for suggestions of how to address it, but we don't have any ideas. The way I see it, I have these options;

+ Be told to do PE with the girls and be constantly ridiculed and super-dysphoric, and consequently refuse to participate anyway
+ Be told to do PE with the boys (highly unlikely - I have no idea what school policies on this are, but even the top pe set girls only occasionally play lighter sports with the boys, and I'm not exactly top set material) and be constantly ridiculed and frankly second-rate and the worst in the class because they've all got testosterone raging through them and I haven't.
+ Fabricate something about the medical exemption being extended (it's very informal and they don't require a doctor's letter etc, they just take your word for it), therefore moving the problem on a couple of months (not really a solution)
+ Mutually agree with the school that it's all far too complicated and that it's much more sensible for me to continue using the PE slots as study periods (YES!)

I guess what I'm asking is, what other options do I have? What better ways are there to deal with it if they give me option one? Is option two likely?

Are you in therapy?  I would think a therapist could write a letter that excuses you.  Have you told any other medical professionals that you are trans?

I think you should just participate. This year is my first year actually going by Jacob/male pronouns/mens bathroom & locker room and I was really paranoid about how PE class would be for me. I'm not all that great with the sport that we play most of the time (basketball) and I was scared I wouldn't be up to par with the other guys physically and all of that and they would make fun of me, etc.


However, it ended up working out just fine. My gym teacher was understanding and so were/are the other people in the class that know I'm trans. Half of them don't even know I'm bio female. Now I don't have any worries at all.

You shouldn't be too worried about not "being top set material". If your gym class is like most and you play a variety of sports through out the year and run miles, etc. you'll notice that there's always at least a couple guys aren't good at every sport and running. I was paranoid about that too, but I noticed that and it relieved me. I've always been pretty athletic and starting T recently made it even easier, I'm actually better than most of the bio buys at like everything except basketball xD.

But yeah man . . I totally think you should just go with participating and participate with the guys.
