Hiiii :3!!! So I (trans ftm, pan) have a crush on my friend (cis girl, straight) and i dont know what to do.
For context: we're both minors, and any form of medical transition (hrt, surgery, hormone blockers, ect) are all illegal for minors where i live, so im stuck as a boy for a while.
So im already out to her + my other friends, but i really feel like she doesnt see me as a girl. I cant really blame her tbh, i havent started transitioning yet or changed my name/pronouns.
But my main worry is that she's like maybe a little transphobic??? Maybe??? I came out to her basically by telling her i need to say aomethimg about myself, then having her play 20 questioms with infinite questions. When she found out, she was like "oh no... youre trans" like it was some bad thing, and her first question was "but why?". I obviously got mad at her, we fought, and eventually agreed to just not talk about it until it matters. Ive vaugly brought it up here and there (cause its an important part of me and it leaks into conversation here and there), she gets avoidant about the subject.
Ive been out to her as pan for a few months now and she was completely ok with that, although she did hit me with the "sooo you're bi?"🙄 when i explained what pan meant, and she also implied there are only 2 genders. Now, the other day i also gave her a lil scenario, "if you could kiss another girl, just once, and nobody will ever know, would you?" To which she gave an immediate NO. Idk just testing the waters, who knows.
She is a christian, and a serious one. It's a big part of her life, and most likely where she was told that we're not okay. I know her family is too cause when i came out as oan she said she wouldnt tell her parents cause they wouldnt want her being friends with me because of it.
But im unsure if she'll ever see me as a true girl. And even if she does, either way i cant really have a crush in her without it either fizzling out or getting us both hurt.
Now, i've been here long enough to know that i'm gonna get told to cut her off. But she truly is a great friend, expect for her views on us. Once i get around to changing my pronouns/transitioning more, if she doesnt respect my pronouns, name, gender, whatever, then i will. But right now i really think that would best be avoided. Plus none of my other friends rlly have much contact with me rn.
My main goal here is dissolve my crush on her. Its not a big one, luckily. She's talked to me about guys she likes/has dated, and sure ive had maybe a little twinge of jealousy, but i never realy cared all that much about the thought of her being with someone else. I just wanna go back to seeing her as a friend and not a thing more. I think thats pretty pheaseable from where im at.
Also, how can i teach her more about queer people without being weird about it? I dont wanna be pressure-y or force anything, just hopefully see if she'd be willing to be more accepting of it.
Thanks in advance fot any advice :3!!!
