Oak: Can you believe her Punch? She’s fully in denial about her own gender. 

Punch: Maybe she belongs in a mental hospital instead of our school. A shrink will definitely fix her.

More of her friends started showing up. One by one. As if she sent out a mass text to everyone she knew. I wanted to run away but I also didn’t want to seem like I was a coward. I didn’t need a shrink. I wasn’t broken. Why could there sims not understand?

I was walking home from school when one of the girls from my class spotted me. I wasn’t in the greatest moods already, which was probably why she started shouting things at me. Maybe she could tell I was vulnerable or something. But it definitely didn’t help.

Oak: Hey tomboy. Why can’t you be normal!?

I got that a lot. As if being transgender wasn’t normal. Being born a female was what was abnormal. It wasn’t right. I was meant to be male. But a lot of the kids at school couldn’t understand that.

Oak: I mean, seriously. I think everyone is tired of putting up with calling you something you aren’t. Give it a rest.
