I'm a female to male transsexual. I'm very proud of the fact that I AM a trans person. I'm also a college student. Here's the dilemma. I am trying to apply for some glbt and trans scholarships, and one of them says I have to be open about my transgender status on campus and have to show that I'm making a contribution to promote transgender awareness. However, every time that I've clued someone in on my trans status, I start to get looked upon in a different light. They see me for what I USED to be, instead of what I NOW am. Is there a way to get past this? I've worked too hard and spent too much time, energy, tears, and money to still be seen as a female.
