What is it to be a trans daughter? What is it to be an angry queer? What is it to be a first-year college student? Do my friends only half-know me? In a creative non-fiction essay about a memorable conversation with a new trans friend named Dinah, I explore these questions about transness, cisgender family, queer solidarity and rage. "I am the great and fiery force that... awakens and supports life." -Hildegard of Bingen
