Telling the Teachers

Yesterday, the principle of my school called me in to her office to talk to me. What did we talk about? My transition.

A few weeks ago, my mom and an adult advocate whom my mom knew went in to talk to the principle, guidance counselor, and I think the nurse. They talked about how I was going to transition this school year, and that the staff were going to need some training, considering how well they handled the last trans student (ftm - the teachers could get his name right, but never his pronouns). They plan on having a training session on the 19th of this month (October), which should prove not terribly interesting.

Anyways, the principle called me in to tell me that she had told half of my teachers what was going to happen, and was going to tell the other half. She was wondering what I would do to tell my classmates, though, which I can understand. I told her: I would make a video (about 10 minutes long, maybe shorter), explaining how I am trans, what that means, answering some frequently asked questions I presume I will get, as well as addressing some of the slurs I may face. All in all, a rather basic coming out video. Which I hope to get credit for in my video productions class.

Speaking of videos...

Been working on the rather large script (now titled "Inner Demons", or something like) to the point where I know pretty much how each scene will play out. Granted, it's still a rough draft, and needs a few more scenes (important and filler scenes), but so far, it's pretty cool. I wish I could post it on here, but... First of all, I can't, because I cannot figure out how. Second, I lost the flashdrive where it is stored, and I don't have a backup file anywhere.
