i don't mean this in a way to illegitimize your feelings or identity. this was something i was always curious about

because being a girl makes me happy; maybe it's because being a girl is a way to express that i'm female and that i like being female; i'm not sure though

has your transition gone well outside of your family?

How readily did the teachers call you Rebecca?

you can still ask the second half of your 2nd question if you want

my transition went really well outside of my family; i was never bullied or openly made fun of (although sometimes people were either laughing or staring behind my back before i looked like a girl i think, although i didn't pay that much attention) and i was never put in any danger and for the first year before i started taking hormones people just thought i looked weird or didn't notice probably but no one said anything and in two years or so everyone saw me as a girl anyway

also all the teachers called me Rebecca all the time since i e-mailed them before class started and asked them to call me Rebecca

also tosh you're transgender?
