On all accounts. Yeah, this took me back to some torturous years of my own. I always knew that I'd outgrow the time and place and go on to be the fabulous person no one could seemingly see. But "hanging in there" till that day came was enough to scar the soul for life. Thank you for sharing your story. Am still blown away. Wow. On all accounts.

I too was cornered by little gangs of girls and tormented by pubescent boys because I didn't fit in. For a kid, nothing spells disaster faster than being androgynous. (Until I was 14 years old, teachers often sat me on the boys' side of the room until I set them straight.) I may have lost my androgyny, but I will still never be "like them" and I think people know it. People like you, my beloved friend. (PS: I'm waiting with baited breath for part 2. Don't take too long! :)) This post hurts my heart. I too was cornered by little gangs of girls and tormented by pubescent boys because I didn’t fit in.
