Between Genders

Chapter One: Prologue

 Hi, my name is Ryan. This is my story.

I am just a normal guy, got a great family, all nice and open to just about anything. I hang out with them all the time. I also love my friends. They are the best people ever! Seriously, they love me and defend me and all around are just great guys and girls! Sure, we fight, but who doesn't? My usual group is Alex, Sam, Julian, and Maria. Now it's time to learn why I have a "story".

I am FtM transgender. Yep, I'm 15 years old and already transgender. FtM means "Female to Male" which obviously means I was born female and but I am not female. Alex is androgynous lesbiansexual, they aren't accepted by anyone because of that but we love them to death. Sam is gender fluid, some days he's Samuel, some days she is Sammie, some days they are just Sam, but they are always the SAME. Julian is androgynous and gaysexual. Androgynous means partly male and partly female in appearance; of indeterminate sex. Thank you Google! Gaysexual is when a person of androgynous sex likes men. Lesbiansexual is when an androgynous person likes women. I didn't need to Google those. Maria is just bisexual, but she is part of our group too!

We are crazy, like we can be pretty much insane sometimes. We like talking about things we shouldn't and if our parents found out, we would be grounded for a year. Sometimes we get out of hand and energetic, but that is just us being us.

Enough about those losers though, more about me. I first realized I was trans a long time ago. Like maybe 3 years ago. I tried to hide it, but I wanted to wear t-shirts and jeans and stuff a lot. I came out to my parents about a month after realization and they started calling me by my name and everything right away. Next was my friends, it was over group chat text. I basically just came outright and said it, I was like, "Yo btw guys im trans." And they all kinda said like, "Cool, anyways..." My teachers were the hardest. I told them, that was easy, I was just like, "Hey, I'm transgender and would really like it if you would call me Ryan," and they all took it fine but they couldn't remember and would call me by my birth name and stuff.

By the way, it's almost summer vacation, well, more like summer break because I don't ever do anything during the summer. I don't even have P.E. this summer because I am doing it during the school year next year, which I do not want to do since the jocks all do regular P.E. and they don't like trans people in the locker rooms. I try not to let that stuff go to my head. People don't like things they do not understand, and since all of the "jocks" are cisgendered, they won't understand a person who is transgender. All I want is to be known as Ryan and not Jane. I can't stand it when people call me Jane. It feels like they are playing mind games with me. My heart starts to pump faster because of the adrenaline rush I get when people call me that. One day, I'm probably going to get so sick of it I will probably beat someone up. But, that's not today.

Can you tell I'm ADHD? I can most of the time and realize I need to slow down. Should I slow down? You know what? No. I won't slow down. It's my story! I have a whole lot of things wrong with me. I've got depression, anxiety, ADHD, ADD, like ugh body can't I just be normal?

I have some pets! I have a dog named Suzy, and a cat named Arnold. I used to have a gerbil, we named him Hammy because I thought he was a hamster when we bought him. Hammy died a couple weeks ago. We gave him a proper funeral, though. In the backyard. Yeah I digged a hole that was like 3 feet deep, put him down there, made everyone say something they remember about Hammy. My brother said he remembers when Hammy ate his own pellets instead of his food pellets. Ew! My mom said she remembers when I would take him outside and we all would have to get checked for lice and stuff because he always came home with something. Ha ha that one was actually kind of funny. Dad said he remembers when Hammy bit him. Okay that one wasn't very good, but I'm sure Dad didn't care now that he is dead.

What else can I tell you about me? I don't know much more about me that I can tell you. I'm just a normal kid, you know. Ok, time for my day to day story I'm going to tell you!
