>you don't get it, that's clearly a girl
>why is your teacher calling her a guy?
>when class ends, you notice she makes a beeline towards the door, averting everyone's eyes
>you hurry out the door and put your hand on her shoulder, stopping her
>"Hey, are you okay?"
>she looks up at you
>"Y-yeah, I'm fine. I'm used to it."
>what the fuck???
>"You shouldn't be used to that, it's not right. I'm glad you tried to stand up for yourself though."
>she blushes a little and looks down
>"Thanks..."
>"Any time."
>"I should go, don't want to miss my bus..."
>she waves goodbye, now with a little smile on her face, before she leaves

>he puts his hand on his forehead
>"God damn, not more frickin' gendah bullshit."
>"What are you talking about?"
>"That's a man, baby. Born a boy. Think he's a girl. Says here in these notes I got. Trans-gendah. But I ain't fallin' for it, I ain't gay."
>...huh
>you never met a trans person before
>your only exposure was through online discourse about bathrooms and sports
>she looks nothing like what you imagined these people are supposed to look like
>you grab your bag and head home

>would SHE be considered gay, or straight??
>your thoughts are interrupted by the bell
>"Shit. Well, guess I'll see you later?"
>as she gets up
>"Wait..."
>she pulls a pen and a little notepad out of her pocket
>she writes something on it and slides it into your jacket pocket
>"Thanks for spending time with me, it means a lot."
