Rant Anyone else?

In PE and taekwondo (I'm not any good, don't worry) they're like "girls vs boys" ALL THE TIME and it's like... well i guess im a girl...? bc ppl are really bad at using my pronouns and stuff at school and my taekwondo instructor is mostly fluent in english but gender is a hard topic to explain to a person I only know for an hour every week. They all know me as a girl *shudder* because that's how I presented and how I lived, but that doesn't mean it doesn't feel weird. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i get it, i’m like that but instead of presenting girly i present quite masc or androgynous so sometimes new ppl at skl (younger kids) ask r u a boy or a girl and i say girl as a safety net as im afab n im not exactly out as nb at skl it does suck tho at kickboxing my friends know but my coaches don’t :(

I get it. I don't know what to say to make you feel better because I isn't good with words, but If you ever want to chat, I can relate to this.

for me it is in school sports lesson the distinction between boys and girls. im with the boy group (male body) and god, i mean yeah im both but i mean in those sport lessons i almost feel disgust for also being male (i know not everyone is like this but from the feeling i get there nearly every one becomes a screaming brainless ape (you should hear how much noise there is, if i want to talk to my friends there we have to stand really close and still nearly scream)).
