Phoenix, 7, Northern CA

Me and my best friend being funny and laughing together makes me happy. We do funny gymnastics and stuff.

 

I'm the only transgender girl in my whole school. I'm the only one. That makes me special.

​

I’m sometimes sad when I go to the bathroom because it’s the only time my body focuses me. I have to figure out which bathroom to go in at school, I listen to the door and I find out if there is anybody in there and if there is not I don’t go in.

 

If there are some people in the boys and somebody in the girls I go and hide. And if there is nobody in the girls I  will go in.

This makes me very sad.

​

Sometimes people say I’m a boy. I get sad and mad because I’m not a boy. I’m a girl!!!!! And nobody has to mean to me about that.

 

I'm gonna be cisgender when I’m older I will be a girl. I will get the medicine and I will be older and I will be a girl and I won’t have a “peepee”.
