    Hello there.

    I'm RainbowGreen and I joined this site because I needed a place to discuss my issues with people who know what I'm talking about. I'm out to my family and at school about being a transgender male but the school staff still refuse to use my preferred pronouns, name and adjectives (yes, because in French, even adjectives have a gender). They say it's for legal reason but I don't really understand why they can give nicknames to students but not use my name. I'm incredibly frustrated at how slow the process is and I need some people to hopefully make me feel better about the whole thing. The most frustrating thing is that I pass really well but, if I show my ID card... well you know.

    Anyways, I'm pretty sure I'll like it here :slight_smile:
