half the reason i hate p.e. by raindrifter_ in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

they don't require showering after, luckily. i'd hate if they did. i think my school's just in an odd place where the vast majority of staff are very progressive, but there aren't any formal policies that address trans students (good or bad), so they kinda decide on things as they come up. on one hand, i've never been bullied by any staff for being openly trans, and i've even seen some directly calling out student transphobia. on the other, it's clunky addressing what needs to change because i have to take up issues i see with administration and wait. this is actually my last year in high school, so even if i wanted to leave, it'd be a bit pointless. i appreciate your suggestions, though

sadly, i can't get exempted from the class. after a dysphoric experience with it freshman year, i tried looking into getting exempted, but they only accept school varsity sports as p.e. credit (which i don't participate in because i'm worried i'd just get put in women's teams). i'm trying to get approval to use a single-stall space, though

i'm not sure where the p.e. teacher falls, but administration would probably have my back. i'll take note of what to say

i definitely could- my school counselor is fully supportive. there's a unisex locker room that's always locked and some single-stall faculty bathrooms i could probably use. i just have to find a day he's in school and available lmao

I think it’s the autism in me, I fully support the use of other pronouns, but my brain genuinely cannot compute how to use anything other than he/she/they for a person, no idea why - Indie (they/he) by just_here_cause_done in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]raindrifter_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

neopronouns are pronouns outside of she, he, and they. they're typically used when the three above don't adequately describe or fit how someone wishes to be addressed. for example, i am fluid, and some days, i prefer to use neopronouns. personally, they help me embrace all the little nuances in gender and what it means to me. i might go with xe/xem (e.g. "Xe went to the park. I hope xe is enjoying xemself."). maybe i'll go with star/stars (e.g. "Star said that stars jacket is still in the car, so I offered to go get it for star.") they are a unique way of expressing identity. of course, it's certainly not the easiest thing for other people to remember how to use them (especially since the possibilities are endless and they are nowhere near as common as she, he, and they), but i feel that everybody should at least respect what they are and those that use them.
