Introduction
transgender people are often misunderstood and discriminated against, but that doesn’t mean that everyone has experienced bullying or transphobia. In fact, many transgender people still have A high school bully or two in their lives. Coming out as transgender can be a very harrowing experience and it’s not always easy to find support from family, friends and the internet. This blog will explore what it’s like to be transgender and have a bully, and offer some tips for coping.
Growing up transgender
Growing up, I never really felt like the right gender. I always felt like I was in the wrong body. As I got older, I started to realize that this was more than just a feeling; it was something that I could not deny. So, when I started to transition into my correct gender, there were definitely some bumps in the road. But overall, coming out as transgender has been one of the best things that have ever happened to me.
First and foremost
Now, let me tell you about my experiences as a transgender person. First and foremost, being transgender means living in a world that is constantly questioning your identity and whether or not you actually belong. It can be very difficult for people who are not transgender to understand our unique experience – which is why it’s so important for us to tell our own stories.
Second, transitioning can be quite expensive
Not only do you have to hire a professional to help you with your transition (which can cost hundreds of dollars), but you also have to purchase new clothes, makeup, and accessories. In addition, hormone therapy and surgery can both be quite expensive (especially if you want top surgery). Fortunately, many insurance companies are starting to cover medical
My childhood friends, and my parents
When I first came out as transgender, I thought it would be easy. I thought that my high school bully and my parents would be the ones who would be the hardest to deal with, but I was wrong. It turns out that
are some of the best people who have ever been in my life. They’ve always been supportive, even when they didn’t understand what was happening. And they continue to be supportive even now that they know everything.
There were a few moments where things got a little rough
There were a few times when my parents and friends were really mean to me, but thankfully those moments are few and far between now. In fact, most of the time things are pretty good. My parents still call me “son” and “kid”, and my high school bully still come over to hang out with me. But there is one person who hasn’t changed at all: the bully from my childhood. He still picks on me, calling me slurs and making fun of my appearance. And despite the fact that he still bullies me, I love him anyway. He’s always been there for me, even when
Becoming publicly transgendered
When I first came out as transgender, the only people who actually knew were my best friends. I never talked about it with anyone else because I was terrified of what they would think.
Everyone and make fun of me
I was scared that they would leave me, or worse, that they would tell everyone and make fun of me. For a long time, I convinced myself that it wasn’t true- that I was just overthinking things. But eventually, I realized that there was no way around it- I had to come out to everyone.
It was a difficult decision, but ultimately it was the right thing to do. And although it took a lot of courage, eventually everyone who mattered to me accepted me for who I am.
Publicly transgendered
Nowadays, being publicly transgendered is something that I’m quite proud of. It’s given me confidence and self-esteem that I never knew existed before. It’s also given me the opportunity to help other transgender people who are struggling in the same way that I once did.
What it means to be a _____ in today’s world
There is an increasing acceptance of transgender people, but that doesn’t mean everyone is comfortable with them. For some, being transgender means coming out as something they’ve been hiding for years. And for others, it’s just another step in their journey to becoming their true self.
Here are five things that being transgender means today:
1. It’s not a phase. Almost every transgender person has experienced confusion and distress about their gender at some point in their lives. This doesn’t make them wrong or crazy – it’s just a sign that they’re human.
2. Transgender identity isn’t just about the body. Just because someone identifies as transgender doesn’t mean they only care about their body. They might also care about their identity – who they are inside – and what that means for them.
3. Transgender people aren’t weird or defective. Just like everyone else, transgender people have strengths and weaknesses. What makes them different is their identification with a gender that doesn’t match the one on their birth certificate or legal record.
4. Transgender people aren’t alone. There are millions of transgender people all over the world, and they’re just as diverse as everyone else. You don’t have to be
Coming out to family and friends
When I was first deciding to transition, the one person I had the most anxiety about telling was my family. My parents are conservative Christians and I worried that they would never accept me for who I am. Turns out, I was totally right to have those doubts.
My parents barely reacted when I told them about my high school bully.They asked a few questions, but mostly just listened without offering any support. It hurt my feelings, but at the same time I understood why they were so opposed to my decision.
Things are still pretty tense
It’s been a year since I came out to my family and things are still pretty tense between us. We see each other once a month or so and usually only talk about mundane things like the weather or work.
Thankfully, my fiance is amazing and supports me no matter what. He’s always there for me when we’re talking with my family and my high school bully always willing to listen when I need him to.
Coming out has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it’s also been one of the most rewarding. Now that I know that everyone who matters to me supports me no matter what, it makes everything worth it in the end.
