By age four, I was labeled a tomboy—a label

that made my dad happy, I think.

“Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird. . . It’s a plane. . . It’s Superman!”

My seven-year-old body shot up, off the ground. My right arm lifted above my head as my feet, clad in red-trimmed sweat socks pulled up to my knees, darted mearound the room. My idol and mentor, like any other boy’s fantasy, was a superhero.

By my twelfth birthday I quit wishing to turn into a boy and started to wish that my body would just stop turning more female. With puberty I saw my breasts developing and my hips widening. The changes were taking away my androgynous build.

After a few weeks in college, I began to wonder if I would be able to reach either of my goals that I set after high school (to not to gain weight and to find a boyfriend who would want to marry me). The embarrassment I felt on account of my body, and the fight I had against my biology, affected my development as a person, especially within romantic relationships.

In preparing to do what I felt would be the impossible, I accepted the fact that my family may very well disown me and never want to see me again. If I could accept losing everything and still move forward, I knew that things couldn’t get any worse for me in life.
