Being Misgendered and Bullied at School

Talk to the principle about that

That sucks, Karma. Unfortunately people can be obnoxious especially former friends who aren't sure how to relate to a perceived change or think they are in a better social circle and think treating old friends badly will keep them in the in crowd. Not much you can do other than report their bullying and that would be depend on how safe you feel in your school culture doing so. Hopefully there is a supportive teacher/councilor/ therapist that can help you come up with the best ways to manage and create safe spaces for yourself. There maybe some support groups online and maybe in your area that you can find your support base. Best of luck and know that you are a valid and of value human being.

So sorry for what you are going through. Just know that there is nothing wrong with you and it it them that have something wrong with them. It’s ignorance and hate. You are 100% valid as a human being for who you are. It’s hard to give you advice because different states and schools have different laws/policies they follow for this kind of thing. But try your guidance office. See if there is anything in place in your school that protects you from being called by your dead name. Start there and see how it goes. Parents are harder because unfortunately you can’t escape them just yet. But talk to them and be open about how you feel even if they aren’t receptive. If they don’t listen then it’s on them and you’ll know you tried your hardest. I wish you all the luck in the world. Just know it does get better. You will find your community out in the world one day where you will be accepted for who you are. Chosen family can be just as important as blood. Hang in there.

I'm sorry to hear about that, it sucks that the person who you thought was your best friend, turns out to not be who you thought that they were, as for your teachers that's not ok they should respect you and call you by the name that you want to be call it's hard, but be proud of who you are embrace who you are be Unapologetically you

Unfortunately as a trans person this kind of stuff is par for the course. There are always going to be bigots trying to break you down. As for your teachers, explain to maybe a principal why this is important for you and ask them to tell your teachers about it. It doesnt work as well if youre in a large school, so if you are go directly to the offending teachers with a prepared speech. There are things you can say to make ignorant (not hateful) people understand why you need a name change.

Thats horrible of them to do that to you I'm so sorry they're disrespecting you!! You are valid and deserve so much better. Sending hugs ☺️

I assume you're in high school. There are social workers there who can help you along with your guidance counselor. However your school might have a policy that they need parents permission before making changes.

If your teachers aren’t respecting your name then maybe you could talk to the school counselor to have them speak to the teachers. Good luck. You deserve to be respected

It sucks and there may not be much you can do about it but i say ignore those jerks. When they call you by your dead name, don't respond. For the people who aren't intentionally being disrespectful, correct them. Your parents, though. That's a bit tough. Maybe try to explain what changing your name means to you and try to win them over.
