I know ive only just wrote a blog or whatever and none of these will be read but ah well haha. Something ive experienced in my time is the labels that everyones given, especially within the LGBT+ community. I’m openly trans to a lot of people and i accept myself as part of the LGBT community, but when does it get to a point where im not labelled as ‘Transgender’ and i can just be seen as a normal boy like any other, what makes me different from any other boy my age (Other than the privates). I dont get why we all have a need to label ourselves as something – pansexual, asexual, demisexual and all that, it gets confusing, we love who we love so why do we need to label ourselves something based on this just to feel accepted?
That’s pretty much all i wanted to say but since im only on 150 words i may as well share a small story about going through high school as trans. In school i was out to a lot of my friends and some of my family, in year 10 (When i was 15) i got my hair cut short and started wearing pants since i previously had to wear skirts and it was the most annoying thing at times. I went on a ‘All girls’ trip since i was still struggling as to what i wanted to do in college and university, half way through i went to the toilet but we got lost whilst we were there, a teacher stopped and went the toilets are that way *He pointed* then looked at me and told me the boys toilets where another way. When your not out to everyone and you have to correct someone and say your a girl it is fucking humiliating, especially when you dont want to be. Other than this, i had a few problems when going the toilet in school as well, me and a friend of mine who was also trans used to have to use the girls bathroom since we didnt want to bring attention to it all, all i can say is girls dont react well when to people who look like boys walk into the girls bathroom.. We used to get stared at, people would whisper to each other about it and laugh now and again, it was pretty much just a massive nightmare.
I dont know why i keep writing these but ay its fun writing about my life at times.
