Ok, I'm going to make a quick list of pros and cons of being Trans* in high school and as a teenager... Even though there really isn't anything good about being trans*
Goods:
- You get to educate people and make a difference.
- You can pick your own name.
- GSA for support.
- Guidance counselors to talk to.
Bads:
-DYSPHORIA.
-Getting the wrong pronouns.
- Not being old enough for HRT.
- Being called by your birth name on the first day of school...
-Gym class..
-Locker rooms.
