 Being out as trans to my friends is like I have this really great feeling and just makes me really confident in my identity and they're always super supportive of me like if you ever like need a place to stay or you need help or if you need resources you can always just come to us and last night during the day of silence I actually came out to my grandma. She was actually the second family member I came out to. The first one was my sister and she doesn't, she still doesn't really know like what it is like for me being trans so I kind of like have to constantly mind her like oh he him his pronouns but like coming out to my grandma was definitely a lot more scary because just like I have I do love her a lot and she definitely accepts me but just it was just a lot different coming out to her rather than my friends because like with my friends it's just like if one of them doesn't accept me I can just go well bye I don't need to deal with you in my life but with my grandma it's like just this big like what if scenarios like start to go through your head but it was just this big load off my chest and soon I'm gonna come out like to the rest of my family and then soon like to my whole school and I just have like a really great feeling about it. Well my school can do would well first of all they could be more like inclusive of them because definitely like dirt like for like our little planners that we get always at the beginning of the year they're not inclusive it'll definitely talk about like bullying and harassment but it won't state anything specifically like LGBT wise for what I know I'm the only out trans student at Soquel High but I don't know like who else there and a lot of kids there don't know the rights so that's another big issue we just need to know what we can and can't do like at schools especially LGBT wise because just they're not like as inclusive as they should be. Ever since I was little I always just kind of knew like I was different like I always grew up in a route in like a really feminine home I grew up with my grandma my great grandma and my older sister and when I was really little they put me in dance so I was just constantly surrounded by girls just always and so when I was like about 10 I just kind of was like I mean I don't know who I am yet I mean 15 I still don't know who I am so I'm just like well whatever and then as and then when I was like around like 11 or 12 I was like hmm I think I'm lesbian because I just liked girls and my first girlfriend was at 13 and but then after my first girlfriend I kind of realized like oh I don't mind like other pronouns rather than she her and then at like the end of seventh grade I just kind of like realized like oh I actually kind of prefer male pronouns like I don't really like female pronouns and then like the beginning of my freshman year it was just like no like I want to be called he him his like that is who I am that is my identity like and it's just I've been identifying as he him his and you Raya for like about a year now I'm a sophomore in so-called high I actually have a lot of favorite movies it's a really difficult question to ask I guess my favorite movie that I'd have to say right now would have to be the last unicorn because I went to the book signing like last week with Peter Beagle the author and it's my favorite movie because just as like a little kid I just loved unicorns so much and like growing up it kind of like I kind of like found out like oh it's like a symbol for like a bunch of things and then like learning more about like the LGBT community like a lot of people was like oh unicorns and rainbows I'm like wow that's really cool and like in the movie when I was watching it like there's a scene where the unicorn like turns into a human and how like she just coexists with the couple of the human so it's like oh it's kind of like coming together in unity like in our own society and I just thought that was really awesome I have too many favorite colors to be honest I'm really indecisive I usually try to stick to like neutral colors like light browns or blues or grays for today I guess I'll say my color would be a light gray because I go to the strange meetings and so sometimes we'll get into topics and one of our topics was about religion and I usually tend to stay in like neutral areas in questions where it's like do you believe in this or no and yeah I feel like gray like really describes me because like the perfect like middle ground of colors
