Alr, I've never posted here... but yall seem supportive and I need some help (image unrelated, just a random dr who meme)
​
Okay, I'm a teenage amab, I'm going into 11th grade at a very backwoods-y school. I feel like I'm genderfluid, but also am too scared to come out, I go by two names with people I'm close with, Ash and Mac (neither my legal name and both gender-neutral, Ash is one I chose and Mac is a name I've had since I was a baby) I also go by Mac at school, and I don't feel any euphoria from it, unlike Ash, but also no dysphoria. Anyway, the name isn't the issue, as I've said, I'm too scared to come out at school, and I'm pretty sure one of my teachers knows I'm genderqueer. (Not neccicairly genderfluid)(I accidentally put Ash as my name on an assignment instead of Mac as I use both equally) That's whatever, the teachers are very supportive. I'm more scared about the kids, because well yes, as every school does, we have our group of LGBTQ+ people, practically all of them believe some really heinous stuff about me (I'm not gonna go into detail, but it involves a girl accusing me of stuff) so I'm scared to come out because:
A) most of the kids are homophobic and transphobic
B) most of the lgbtq+ kids will think I'm just using that to make an excuse for myself
C) I've actually used a pretty fem voice at school when I was sick and the country guys immediately picked up on it
So here is my question with all this context: do I continue wearing baggy clothes to seem more gender-neutral, and wait the two years until my graduation and drop the bombshell: IM NOT CISHET FUNNILY ENOUGH (bc I pass as cishet and everyone I come out to is like: "I beg your FINEST FUCKING PARDON" /ref. ORRR do I come out now and risk being bullied for the next two years of high school
Who's goin to Argo?
I'm 16, I live in a small town, go to a Core in an even smaller town (bc sea cadets is better than the others imo, no shade thrown to you Army and Air cadets who are also going XP. But I wanna meet new people! So... WHOS GOIN TO ARGO BETWEEN THE 13TH AND 23RD BABYYYY
QUESTION
IM OFFICIALLY OUT OF SCHOOL AND AWAY FROM HOMOPHOBIA AND TRANSPHOBIA
