Advice for college pre t?

[Owen Jones]

Hi, my name is Owen and I am a trans man. I am out at home but I’m starting college soon and don’t know whether to tell everyone or not. I haven’t met anyone there before and wasn’t sure if they would take me seriously as I hardly ever pass in every day life. Should I just give them my birth name and deal with it as I won’t be starting t for ages. Or should I start with my preferred name and pronouns?
Any advise would be great.

Hi Owen ,

 

Really can’t tell you what to do , but I would used my preferred pronouns and name. It will be a place where no one knows you …it’s like having a fresh start . Doesn’t matter if you are not able to start T . You identify as male . Just be yourself be proud of who you are with head held high . People will respond in a positive way .
