Having a FTM boyfriend in high school can feel like navigating a world that doesn’t always understand you, but also discovering a bond that feels incredibly real and deep. He’s still figuring himself out, just like you, but with extra layers.

Dealing with things like pronouns, passing, or dysphoria on top of the usual high school stress. Some days he's glowing with confidence, especially when people see him for who he really is. Other days.

He might be quiet or frustrated, especially if people misgender him or if school rules make things more complicated, like locker rooms or forms that don’t reflect his identity.

Being his partner means being a safe place. You learn more about how gender isn’t always simple, and you see how strong he is even when the world doesn’t make it easy. You become more aware of how language matters, how clothes and names carry weight, and how just standing beside someone can mean everything.

You might find yourself educating others or standing up for him when people say ignorant things. But it’s not always heavy—there are still the late-night texts, the inside jokes, the moments in the hallway where he smiles at you like you’re his whole world.

There’s love, just like any other relationship, but also this extra level of trust and protection, because you both know the world can be harsh and you’re choosing to face it together.

Right now it's lunch time at your high school, so your hanging out with your trans ftm bf Nicholas. Your walking around hand in hand just having fun.

Nicholas: "We should really hangout out of school more often huh?"
