There's a "trans girl" in my class
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
We got assigned partners for a project today and mine is a mtf transgender person. I honestly never met one irl so it's pretty strange to say the least. I guess he's been identifying as a girl since he was 12 and looks pretty close to one now (minus some obvious differences.)
I have no idea how I should navigate this. I don't want to be an asshole or anything but it's kind of awkward. Everyone knows I'm conservative too which is why I probably got assigned him.
Edit: The project is somewhat related to gender so that makes it a bit harder.
This person might be a victim of a councilor, teacher, or parent. If the councilor says "you're not trans," they loose a client. 12 year old boys can be mean to each other so I could see him not wanting anything to do with them.
It also just might be the clothes. Men's clothes are utilitarian and dull. Women's clothes are styled to be visually attractive. Thank you Fetterman for demonstrating how unattractive men's casual clothes are today.
If it's legal (in a 1 party state) secretly record your meetings with an audio recorder app or CosyDVR for video. Test it out first. You don't want your phone to chime every 10 minutes. And maybe take some ivermectin etc. so you don't catch the hypothetical trans parasites.
