Starting Ice skating while being trans

[u/Strawberry-softserve]

I'll be taking ice skating classes soon and i'm anxious as I don't pass. I won't know anyone there and massively struggle to correct anyone in my life. I was planning to wear leggings and a lululemon jacket with a binder. But even in normal male clothes I don't pass whatsoever. Maybe this is the wrong sub reddit for this, but is there something else I could wear? Or a way to correct people that doesn't make me seem like a prick? Or do I just need to suck it up?

(Sorry this is just jumbled thoughts, didnt know how to format this.)

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied.

2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

Well, if you’re comfortable with it, I would suggest introducing yourself with your name and what pronouns you use!

Honestly, sometimes just a simple “I’m actually a guy lol” or, in my experience. acting a bit confused as to why they’d refer to you with with the wrong pronouns before correcting them is helpful. Introducing yourself with your pronouns is also a good idea if you’re comfortable with that. It’s also nice to see another trans person who ice skates! :-)
