First year out of the closet in school tomorrow

Advice Needed

Tomorrow I'm going back to high school, this will be my first year out. I'm scared as hell.

I'm in a class of all girls (and apparently they already pity me for being the only guy (they don't know I'm trans)). The thing is I know all of them from other years and they are loud-mouths who really like to pick on people who are outside of the norm.

I know I don't owe them an explanation or something, but they will DEFINITELY be asking because they'll recognize me. I have no idea what to do when they do ask, I want to avoid as much confrontation as possible while making clear I AM a boy.

Is there anything else to say rather than 'Yeah, I'm (name) and I'm a boy now.' Because I know them, they will definitely (for some reason) laugh at me when I say that.
