i'm trans too, and i've gotten feelings for cos men who i feel like i might not pass to. this is really cute! if you're already out to him as trans, i would recommend shooting your shot and telling him how you feel! if anything, you'll get closure about whether or not he returns the feelings. hand holding can be very intimate or very platonic given the circumstances, so i could see this either way!

when admitting crushes on people always be prepared for the worst, for somebody to say no. it makes things better if they say yes, as well as keeps you from getting too heartbroken about a possible no!

as always, i'd love to see more advice in the replies and reblogs!

not too sure how long ago you sent this but i'm going to answer the question just so the advice is out there!

rumors will be rumors, i'd start by considering what you want out of this: do you want to come out? are you ready to do so?

next i recommend letting those friends who have outted you know that that's really not cool, and they have no right to do so

if you don't want to come out, ignore the rumors. people thought i was gay long before i came out but you'd be surprised how unlikely it is that they confront you. you'll want to have a plan on what to say just in case (my backup plan was just telling the truth) but like i said, especially in school, people are rarely confrontational when it comes to rumors

if you are ready to come out, and you choose to do so, you should get to decide when and how. if you go this route, it's your time to shine, my friend. good luck to you.
