I met a friend yesterday and she works at a Catholic all girls school. I had been pondering for a while how to come out to her. I hoped she would be accepting, but I worried about her worrying about me (sorry, not sure this makes sense). So yesterday she suddenly mentioned that they have two transguys at her school and the school is supportive of them (a girls' school mind you). Say whaaaaa?
She was telling me about how one of the guys had problems with his parents, because they initially didn't agree to him changing his name at school -- and my heart really dropped at that. It really affected me a lot, so I decided to come out to her on the spot to explain why I cared about this topic so much. Her reaction was great -- and what she told me about the school really gave me hope that somehow some day trans* youth will get all the support they need.. I'm really impressed with how open-minded the school appears to be.
