(BRENDAN)

Q Is for Question

(Holy crap!)

Angel is transgender!

She’s feminine and beautiful

and easy to talk to.

And there’s so much I want to ask—

like how do you know what’s right?

What if you aren’t always sure?

What if there are days when being a guy

only kind of tortures you?

And you just don’t see yourself

as a supergirly girl?

(And how did you beat level five

in Machines at War?)

What does it mean that even if this body

doesn’t feel like the right one,

high heels and dresses

aren’t really for you either?

What if sometimes you feel like

you’re pretending to be male but

you don’t want to feel like

you’re pretending to be female?

(Are you alone in this?)

And how can you keep

who you really are from

hurting your girlfriend?
