    This might sound sort of stupid but hear me out.
    So, my entire life I've been homeschooled and I took classes. But, only classes I wanted to take. (My parents are awesome! (!) ) But lately I've been questioning my g.......choice in friends. (You thought I was gonna say gender, didn't you? xD) All my friends were jerks so I stopped all my classes and cut off all of my "friendships" (I use that term lightly) and I dumped my girlfriend. But, then...I was just spending all my time inside so basically long story short I signed up for a bunch more classes and I'm trying to make more friends. I know my gender and sexual orientation, I'm completely out of the closets, everything's dandy, right? Not exactly. I use He/him or They/them pronouns ONLY yet everyone always mistakes me for a girl...?! So, I'm thinking I'll probably have to say something at my classes...but I much rather just say I'm a boy than say I'm Genderfluid. I don't want to explain what Genderfluid means I'm 99% of the time a boy anyways so what does it matter? But, I feel really guilty for that because I know I am Genderfluid but if I'm just gonna say I'm a boy isn't it like lying?! I dunno....I don't want to lie to my TEACHERS and my FUTURE FRIENDS and MYSELF but I also don't want to have to explain being Genderfluid to a classroom of possibly Transphobic 5-9th-graders.
