I feel like that’s probably the most likely scenario yeah. She might not have even known she was trans when she joined it. Getting closer to the other girls might have been the thing that helped her realize she didn’t want to just be part of the cheer squad she actually wanted to be one of the girls.
Yup. We have a librarian here that’s trans, and the only reason I know is because I have eyes (and they transitioned after getting the job). Oh, and we’re in a pretty conservative area, and I’ve never heard or seen anyone having any issues with her, though I’m sure it happens.
Oh, and that librarian rocks. We couldn’t find one of our holds, and it turned out it was stuck in their book elevator thing which had broken down that day, and they went out of their way to fish our books out for us. It’s completely unrelated to her gender identity, I just thought that was really cool.
I mean this is high school. She got on the squad and nobody knew she was trans? Did she just transfer there?
She clearly got on the squad while presenting male. Male cheerleaders exist? “When she came out” was when the other girls on the squad made the pact.
My take was that she joined the squad when presenting male, and then came out later.

Uhm, why would somebody have to have known that she was trans?
I mean, I imagine they have eyes?

“A library card!”
