In life all people discover themselves. Some do it early on, others don't until they are on their deathbed. Alex thought she had it all figured out, that she was set in life. Alex didn't know that feeling stuck inside her body wasn't normal, that other people didn't hate themselves and their features every time they see their reflection. Alex only realized this when they had a visitor in her girl scouts troop. This visitor was a transgender woman who was there to explain what she went through. She explained everything that Alex felt daily and Alex realized that she shouldn't be in girl scouts, he should be in boy scouts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex goes on a journey of self-discovery and encounters many accepting, and not so accepting people on the way. Alex wonders if he'll ever be satisfied with himself but eventually he meets someone who shows him the way.

Pax is a fifteen year old (rising junior) with no sense of self love and also with a shitty family. He grew up in a world where he hadn't heard a lot of things even existed, like anything in the LGBT spectrum, and he'd grown up in churches that exiled the word "gay". In sixth grade, everything finally clicked. He was transgender. Just because he realized it, though, didn't mean his entire life would become perfect. From the time he was twelve on, he was sick and confused and altogether terrified of what he's become. After he came out to all of friends, most of them ditched him until his only friends were the school's gay power couple and a nonbinary internet friend he'd never even talked to in real life, and only them to help him and figure out everything that needs figuring out. In this coming-out story, I delve basically into what was my young teenage years - so I included quite a lot of things I went through. Some triggers this might include are: -transphobia -homophobia -vague references to self harm -suicidal thoughts & actions -SPOILER: Pax is kicked out at some point; I'd suggest that you don't read it if you're not comfortable with that because that's the climax. 600 reads?? 100 votes???
