It’s sunny and not-so-cold outside. I just came back from my run. I gotta be careful how I let the guy at Starbucks flirt with me! I’m serious! He’s coming on to me big-time, and I’m letting him cuz it’s terrific for my ego, but I can’t let this turn into something…..
I met with my school’s Lesbian-Gay club yesterday. One of the girls invited me to come talk with them about my transition. (I was surprised it came from one of the girls but they seem to run the club.) I’m not really “open” about my transition at school — it’s a very badly kept secret. I don’t get any grief at school about it, cuz we’re pretty tolerant. But, the principal has asked that I not be over-the-top about it. One big question is if/how I’m going to go to the formal this year…. sigh…
ANYWAY…. the L-G club was w-a-a-a-a-a-y more accepting that I thought they would be. They’re pretty militant, and I’m pretty stealth in my own way. They’re not usually very tolerant of stealth gays on campus — it’s wierd, if you ARE gay, they want you out and proud. However, I’m kinda in that world in between worlds, neither gay nor straight. They were very cool about that, and understood where I was coming from. I explained my whole story, and about the hormones and where I was going from here. They were kinda upset that the principal isn’t letting me be more open on campus, and they said they’d talk to the administration (they’ve got a LOT of pull — gays are very powerful in this area). We’ll see! I’m one of them now, for what it’s worth. Hope my therapist can handle that!
Yeah, at least be glad you are on hormones. You are probably a lot younger than I am and I had to drop out of bible college and leave the Christian faith before I could have the courage of facing the truth about my transsexuality square in the eye.
