so I said, “I’m actually a boy, Miss.”
Then one of my classmates slams his hands on the desks and shouts, “YOU’RE NO BOY!”
I turned around to him.
he said, “YOU’RE A MAN.”
I turned back around sheepishly smiling while all my male classmates cheered and shouted, my teacher simply smiled, apologized, and the lesson continued.
I’m thankful for that moment in my life, it gives me hope for the future.
That more trans people will be supported, and visible.
