I've vowed to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So that's what I plan to do. Sometimes telling the truth is hard, like, really hard. But I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna take a deep breath and confess every mistake, every moment of joy, of sadness, of anger and frustration, every wrong feeling and right feeling, all the regrets, hopes, dreams, and wishes. All of it. Okay, maybe not all of it, but I'm gonna try to tell you everything from the time I first began to feel this way, the first time I really felt like a boy. I'm Liam, and this is my story.
Parker, a trans boy in a small town, lives with his extremely transphobic mother and his father. He gets bullied, slurs and punches thrown at him at the same time. He has no friends, not since he came out as a transgender. His mother can't accept the fact that he's a boy and his father seems to be the only one on his side. His father helped Parker buy his first binder and has been helping him since he was fourteen.
