    I am a freshman in college. thanks to some lovely queer friends of mine I have finnally been able to feel what it's like when people use the right pronouns and call me my chosen name. but thanks to that being called she really hurts now......I know I need to come out to my professors for the upcoming new semester. It's scary because I know that once it's "out there" soon everyone on campus will know. which could be good if more people start using the right name and pronouns with me.but I know there will be stupid people.....I'm scared......

    I still remember the day I came out as trans my second semester of college. I was in my art theory in practice class, and I handed in a paper with my preferred name. My professor asked about it and I managed to be able to talk. My group of peers were very supportive. Some of them became good friends who I keep in touch with to this day.
