Hi, my name is Arrow. I\u2019m a \u201cnormal\u201d kid just like any other kid. The only difference is that I\u2019m transgender. Really it\u2019s not that different. I\u2019m 11 years old and so far my journey has been pretty awesome. I think my sisters like having a protective older brother even though I like to annoy them sometimes. My parents have been super supportive and they love me a lot. Getting to be who I really am feels great. It was really hard when I lived as a girl. It wasn\u2019t who I really was and I felt stressed and anxious all the time. School was hard in 4th grade. People made fun of me and teased me about my gender. My parents let me switch schools and it\u2019s been better. I get to use the boy\u2019s restroom and no one teases me there. My friends (my really close friends) don\u2019t care that I\u2019m transgender. They like me just because I\u2019m me. Arrow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
