Description: I wander through the halls in my school and home. Through shopping aisles and town streets. Ma'am, girl, lady, she.. it's how I am addressed. When someone doesn't know me, they always call me that. Maybe I get he once in awhile, but when my face is shown the person "corrects" theirself. "Corrects." Because it isn't right. I'm a boy. I recently came to this realization. I'm not hurting anyone. I was just born in the wrong body. That's all it is. I don't understand how hard it is for people to understand this. But it doesn't matter. I'm still ostracized from groups at school now. Sometimes, I feel as if I shouldn't be alive. My story begins in my high school, a senior, a transgender female to male (ftm) peer. It begins in a home where I get cut down for being like this. It begins in a world that isn't accepting of those like me. It begins with my friends who don't misgender and dead name me. It begins.
