(story slightly altered so it makes sense in english, im not american lol)

okay the title seems really odd but stick with me, okay? so our block section have this whole exhibit in a month and we started on preparations for it yesterday at uni, like we had to talk to professors in charge just to reserve a classroom just for us. we still have online classes so it's the first time we all rlly spent time with each other properly. everyone already knows im a lesbian, they dont really care so its just business as usual or wtvr. im familiar with almost everyone because im active in our section's gc but i noticed someone who isnt really loud in our gc show up, lets call her Taylor.

so taylor is active in class, she answers when the profs call her and joins in on discussions, but when its casual talk in the gc she doesnt rlly talk. at first i thought it was just cuz shes introverted and we're kinda loud so she just preferred not to talk to us. but then when i said hi for the first time to her yesterday she was actually very bubbly. we had lunch together, i was one of the leaders for our class exhibit so our conversations were kinda limited to that but then she went, "im actually surprised that people here react to people like us normally."

then it clicked, 'oh right she's trans.' her name on the class list is still her deadname which i tend to forget about since i only see her as Taylor. "im assuming highschool was shit for you too." i joked, which she laughed at. "yeah! i havent even started my transition yet back then and people were already mean!" which then led to our conversations being about the shit we had to face in highschool. (me being outed, her being bullied)

ig that made us form some sort of alliance, i'm 5'6 but i look rlly short next to her so our blockmates joked i looked like her tiny nerdy boyfriend (i have short hair and the way i dress hides my chest glasses lol). she went "if we dated it's about to confuse people, new gameshow idea: guess the guy!" which we laughed so much over. to be honest, when i first saw her i was rlly,, uhm,, idk lesbian panic wtvr shes rlly pretty and tall and she looked like a model im jhsgfdhf she linked our arms after lunch when we walked back to the classroom we were using and i have a weak lesbian heart okay shes like a goddess!!

anyways, she opened up as to why she isnt active in our class gc. she said she was scared that we wouldn't accept her. that it might end up like highschool, i assured her that if people say shit i have power over them (the organization im in is lead by our university's guidance services office). i kept thinking abt what she said on the way home after that. highschool is rlly bad for lgbtq people ig. i hope she was comfortable with us yesterday, at least. she laughed a lot and was smile-y the whole day so ig shes comfy now.
