How do you be a FTM at an girls school?
It's hard, but if you're asking this question you either care a lot about the trans boys in your life, or you're lucky enough to have started the process of real self discovery. I was the 'token man' at both of my all-girls schools, which I started at when I was 10 and completed at age 18, barely. I used that time to (inbetween the depression and constant 'OCD like' search through my memories to find some clue that would definitively 'prove' that this was all in my head) study women and experiment in female impersonation, ultimately developing several personae that I felt proud for having the acting and dissociative skills to master. I didn't think I'd ever pass well enough to 'justify' transition, and thought these personae would be necessary for navigating the real world until i was in a better place socially and emotionally. I hope you have an easier time, although there are major benefits I experienced by forcing myself into 'remission', including something of a support system and lack of ridicule. Now that I'm out (I'm 24), I no longer use hyper-feminized personae to help me through the world. I'm just me, which is a bi dude with a really heavy female 'accent' that causes a lot of confusion for some of my friends. (speech patterns, intonation - these are all learned traits. observe the girls at your school and remember- you're not the only one who's ever felt like a freak at all girls school.) This observation period will help you develop your feminine characteristics (everyone has them) and hopefully your school will be supportive if you choose to transition there.
