Metamorphosis: A Transgender Story

Chapter 1

A child no older then five runs through the girl's section in a clothing store. The child spots a beautiful dress.
"Mommy!" The child shrieked.
"Oh Eric that's for girls silly" the mother says while she pats her child's head." Let's go to the boy's "
The mother dragged the child by hand while the child threw a tantrum.
" These are all UGLY I want the dress" the child said angrily.
As the child turned to get the dress his mother grabbed his wrist. The mother dragged her screaming child out of the store. When they arrived home she was none too pleased.
"MARK YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOUR SON DID TODAY" she yelled to her husband.
"Ah, it can't be that bad" he said " come here buddy"
The child hopped onto his lap and clung to his father.
"Can we discuss this after dinner?" The father asked.
"I suppose, I'm making spaghetti".
"No son of mine is growing up with gender roles. I'll help" Mark turns to Eric. "Men can cook too, alright buddy".
Mark ruffles his son's hair and follows his wife to the kitchen.
