How to tell your teachers about your gender identity

You haven't told me if you were assigned male or female at birth, but I suppose the challenges you are facing will be similar regardless. They see you as a boy, while you are – in fact – a girl.

This is not a good place to be, as your identity will be invalidated nearly every time they talk to you. That hurts.

The only way to get around this is to make them understand that you are a girl, and for that to happen, you will have to tell them.

Their reaction to this will often depend on where you are and what culture your teachers are part of. This especially applies if you are a transgender girl.

Where I live, in Norway, this is normally a simple affair. Teachers will most likely accept your identity. Indeed, that is expected of them. In other parts of the world, as in parts of Texas and Florida or in Russia and Hungary, the reactions might be negative.

So I would recommend that, regardless of where you are, that you tell them in one of two ways:

The bottom line is: Find someone who can stand by your side when you tell them.
