Completely forgot to mention this, but continuing on my other post, I do use the boys bathroom and I try to pass on looking masculine. I recently got a haircut which I still kind of have long hair but it’s very short compared to my original length anyways that’s not why we’re here so as I said, I do use the boys bathroom as a masculine non-binary/Demi boy we’re still trying to figure that one out it’s between the two lol but one of the guys that I absolutely hate at my school. He’s a total dick to me with the things he has to say I was waiting to use the bathroom. There’s only one stall and there’s two urinals and of course I needed to go to the bathroom, but I didn’t have my STP on me which was fun so I had to wait and while I was waiting, I was basically just fixing my hair in the mirror so I didn’t look too crazy putting my hat on and stuff and the guy hate comes out of the stall and told me that I was a sick person and he hopes that I get better. He seen me previously in the bathroom and we had a couple arguments. He actually a while back was stalking me and would be harassing me in the bathroom, which was not the greatest earlier as well this month something happened which I’m not gonna get into tell about I don’t really wanna talk about it, but the situation did happen and I was going to friends for help and this one guy who I thought we were friends with he knew my ex and the only reason why I talk to him and was because he was my exes friend so we kind of were like altogether on friends. He told me that I should’ve gone to a mental facility while I was dating my boyfriend of course he didn’t say mental facility. He said something a little more brutal and harsh which I’m not gonna say but we’re just gonna say mental facility for now so anyways he told me I needed to go there and that I’m a sick person and I’m crazy all because I’m a part of the LGBTQ community which is crazy so I’ve had a lot of negative things going on especially about me being in the community and trying to figure out who I am so it’s kind of sucks but I’m tired of thinking about it and keeping it on my mind so I came here to talk and let what’s on my mind go because it sucks anyways I don’t really understand why I’m being called mentally ill I don’t understand why people call people who are in the community ill and have problems and wish them to get better. Well I kind of understand from some of their perspectives on how they look, for example if someone’s religious that’s just an example but it’s very rude and honestly, I can understand if you dislike a person we all have her dislikes and our likes and we don’t all have to agree with everything and that’s totally OK. I totally understand that but there’s no reason to come up to a person and be rude or say brutal things that are gonna hurt a person. It just sucks because you don’t know what someone’s going through and then saying crap like that just hurts a person even more like I’m going through a lot and then for you to say that to me just doesn’t feel good and it doesn’t make anything else feel better and please, if you’re one of those people who do disagree with the LGBTQ community there’s other ways to say it without being rude and harsh and saying brutal things to a person we all have her dislikes and that’s OK, but there’s no need to be disrespectful to a person
It is unacceptable for anyone to treat you poorly due to your sexuality. It appears that you may be experiencing bullying. I suggest discussing this matter with your parents and reaching out to the school counselor or principal if you are facing harassment in the restroom. Your safety while on school property is of utmost importance.
You do not have the ability to educate others about respectful behavior, so it may be wise to steer clear of those who are bullying you.
Embrace your identity without shame. Do not allow anyone to make you feel uneasy or diminish your self-worth.
I'm really sorry that you're feeling this way. It sounds super hard to deal with bullies and mean people, especially in places like the bathroom where you should feel safe. What you're going through is important, and it's okay to feel sad and mad about what that boy said.
It's really cool that you're being yourself and sharing who you are. Sometimes, figuring out how to show who you are can be tough, especially if other people aren’t nice. Nobody should have to feel scared or hurt just because of who they are.
If you feel okay about it, maybe you can talk to a grown-up, like a teacher or a parent, or a friend who can help you. They might have some good ideas on how to make things better. Remember, you have the right to be you and to feel safe.
It's also good to find places where you can be yourself without being scared. Talking to others who understand what you’re going through can make you feel better. Take care of yourself, and always remember that you deserve to be treated kindly.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
