I am using the word "Trans" in the broadest sense, to include labels like genderqueer, transgender and transsexual. This was originally written from my own experience as a white Transperson/FTM who is perceived as both female and male. Of course, every Trans person is different, and would write this list differently. Also, some things, which are totally inappropriate with strangers or acquaintances, may be fine or welcomed in the context of a trusting relationship.

When I started university I was still a guy. Sure, I had (very) long hair and was openly derisive of masculinity but I was still a guy called (this hasn’t ever been my real name by the way) Marcus Dennis. I was so much of a guy that my nickname (never used to my face) was “the scary weird bi guy”. It wasn’t, and still isn’t, a gay friendly place - probably something to do with 90% of the students being male and it being in a small town in the midlands which at the time didn’t even have a gay bar
