So... apparently, theres a transsexual in my school. I just found out today. Yeah, like, in the yearbooks, I just thought they screwed up the names, but no. Their name is Faith. But she looks like a boy, and you wouldn't know she wasn't unless someone told you. I mean, I always thought she looked a little..off being a boy, when I saw her in the hall. I heard that she only need,like, one more surgery. And I have a strange feeling that I want to be her friend......

Any..weird-ish people in your school?

This :/

You shouldn't judge people as weird just because they look like the opposite sex.

I have a transsexual in my school too. Her name is Victoria and I heard she's a pretty cool person.

They're not weird for being transsexual.

I didn't mean weird in a bad way, I just didn't really know what else to say. Yeah, I'd like to be his friend, but he's in 7th grade. Maybe I'll find a way. And, not that I care, but my friends I have now would think I'm weird for hanging out with him, and some of my friends would be all, ''omg I hate you ur weeiird.'' and never talk to me again. But w/e

um, i dont think they can do that when theyre that young? maybe she was born a hermaphrodite or w/e the term is, and is deciding whether to make the transition to either sex.

i can understand how you would think it's weird but....... idk try to be a little sensitive. not that you arent. i'm just saying. i don't know.

what, and just because he's different doesnt mean you need to go try be his friend.

my best friend is transgender. after we get out of college and get steady jobs and housing, we're going to try to gather up enough funds for his surgery. but for now he's trying to get the vitamins that make his boobies go away and stuff.

he's ftm but i'm just so used to call him ''him"

Ohmygod, not a transexual!!

No offense, but maybe grow up a little? It's their life, you don't have to call them weird.

Well, when I was in school, before College, I WAS the weird one. No, not transexual, because it's not weird compared to someone that's prone to fits of rage/sadness/anger/despair after slight provocation. Also, my looks didn't help matters =/

maybe i live in like, a really really LGBT area, but there must be like, 3? 4? trans(gender? or sexual. i'm not sure.) at my school. or more, i dunno. one of them seems nice, the other couple i know are bitches :<

It must have been shocking, but honestly, it doesn't really mean they're weird.

Grow up. Stop getting into other people's business. Don't treat him differently because of the operations. You only want to be his friend because he's a transexual? That's a pretty stupid reason for wanting to be someone's friend.

Wrong terminology. But an easy mistake to make. Transexual is a person who has already undergone sex reassignment surgery, where as I think the term you want is transgendered, which is a more general term that applies to anyone who does not identify as the gender they were born as, thought I might just put that out there.

I'm transgendered myself (ftm), so of course I have no problem with other trans-folk! XD But I highly doubt the person you are speaking of has had any sexual reassignment surgery yet if they are still in grade school. Someone that young is not yet emotionally or mentally mature, and although they could very well identify as one gender or another, the therapy and surgery needed are expensive and take a very long time, and are not something anyone who is not mentally mature should even attempt to go through, and especially if you are already having to worry about school things and homework.

No. That's not freakin' why.

i get the feeling you only want to befriend him just to make yourself feel better.

I didn't think someone could get surgery that young. /: I know it's hard to do it before you are a legal adult, but especially when you're still practically a child.

Regardless, I'd treat him with a little respect. If he wants to be seen as a 'he,' you call him a 'he,' not a 'she.' It's as simple as that. Then again, you're only what, ten? So I guess I can kind of understand your mind set.

It's even possible that it's just a rumor. You know how kids are. Either way, if you want to try to be his friend just go say hi.

I quote that too since it was my first thought too. Seriously.. why do people always need to gossip and judge about others. Live and let live, damn it. Don't people have better things to do?

CC works extra as teacher in PC :)

oh, it's you again.

i wonder if people think the same thing about you and want to be your friend, too. because they probably know that your grandmother is evil and want to see for themselves.
