myself into this hole where nobody knows i’m trans even though i genuinely fully look like a cis guy and i don’t know what to do because i don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable. i’m aware that i should’ve been more vocal and this is my fault but i don’t know what to do now! and im worried

it's not your fault, especially since you TOLD her that you were ftm. honestly, i think the best thing to do at this point is just start correcting people. better to start now than keep holding out

Honestly, I would just come out and just say you're making me uncomfortable when you call me she/her even though I specifically said I didn't want that, and if you can't respect me I’ll move in with someone else, but that's just me.🤷

have you told the other friends that you're trans or that you're a guy or your pronouns or any of that? do you correct her when she calls you she/her?

to clarify this is fully on her and she's being transphobic, i'm just looking for more info to help troubleshoot

some of them know, just not the ones i’ll be living with this year. they’re all like woke enough to not hate trans people but im still scared because i don’t want them to be uncomfortable. and i corrected her one time but then i gave up because it just wasn’t working
