I'm a transgender girl pre-op.Things has gotten better in college than when I was in High School. Now I accept myself, thus gotten more confident making friends and talking to boys.
But I felt some kind of homophobia and transphobia from small certain person. I act nice to him, but he act like he doesn't want to admit that I'm effeminate, he treated me like a boy, he likes to make fun of me I think by pushing me (a little bit but still annoying), etc. Mostly all my other male classmate don't do that to me because they seem to understand that I'm different even without I'm telling them.
What should I do now? I think I shouldn't tell him I'm transgender because there is huge probability that he's homophobic. Maybe I should avoid him or what? Thanks so much for your answer.

If this person doesn't understand you, they simply do not accept you, they are self absorbed, and you don't need to hang around a person like that. When a bully makes fun of another person, they are just showing signs of their own insecurities, and including their immaturity. You mention your in collage, yet from your description, this person sounds like their 10 years old. I say do the math, and when the numbers don't add up, move on. Cause this person you are speaking of, is totally way behind you, and not worth your time. I say move on, and affix yourself to other's who follow your own vibration.
