My daughter is in 9th grade and has 6 trans male friends. Two are considering hormones and dress as male. All 6 have taken male names and male pronouns, but 4 dress like females ('90s punkish) with plaid kilts, fishnets, band tees, and lots of rainbow merch. The kids get angry if people misgender them, even if they present as female. They also say things like, "I have a boyfriend and since I'm male, that means he's gay! But he said he's not gay because he's into my female body—but I'm male!" It is pretty confusing. I think a lot of kids are trying things on to see what fits and they'll figure it out eventually. But that is a large number of trans kids in one grade. [/quote]

So it's true that a trans male dating either a cis or trans male is in a gay relationship.  That doesn't mean that the cis guy necessarily sees it that way.  Especially if the trans guy is not transitioning.  Once a trans guy goes on hormones, if the other guy is not gay or bi, you'll pretty quickly see that relationship disintegrate because a voice drop is one of the first things that happens on T.  If someone is thinking about going on T, they probably experience gender dysphoria and will eventually medically transition.  I would think that two dysphoric kids that want hormones in a class of a few hundred isn't that high.  If you add in the other 4 kids that don't want hormones then yeah that's rather high.  It could be a fluke or they could just be trying out things like you mentioned.  They don't want testosterone there really isn't any harm for them to identify as whatever for some amount of time.[/quote]
