Leaving/Janet

From Create Your Own Story

You sit in your bedroom. Door locked, face clear and made up, hair in pigtails. You're wearing a short pleated skirt and white button down blouse.

Nobody knows about you. You've been keeping it a secret. You're satisfied with how easily you pass now when you can do it in secret, even your voice training has gone perfectly. Nobody who sees a picture of you as a girl or hears your voice has guessed that you're transgender.

But it's not enough to do it in secret. You want to live as a girl. Need to. But you're terrified, your family isn't very accepting of things that aren't "normal".

So, what do you want to do about it?

• Leave the room right now and tell your family.
• Hook up with someone who will take you in.
• Just pack up and hit the road.
• Wait until you can afford to move out on your own.
