@Oliviaadelineruth hi! I'm sorry about what you're going through, you're simply trying to express yourself and it's unfair that some people are treating like it's something to make fun of. It's normal to have moments of insecurity when you feel the need to "hide" yourself to feel safer. Confidence takes a lot of time to build, don't be too hard on yourself if you're still having trouble with it. It doesn't make your identity any less valid or strong!
If you can, try to reach out to supportive people who can understand you and provide you a safe place to express yourself. Even better if they are part of the LGBT community themselves, they would be even more likely to relate with what you're going through. Reach out to LGBT circles or organizations near you, it will help to know you're not alone in this!
Whether you do it in private or in public, don't stop expressing your gender in ways that make you feel good and in contact with your true self. You deserve to feel free. Stay strong! 🌈
