The Replacement Daughter
"I want to wear dresses and grow my hair long. I don't want to be Beau anymore."
Dad's hands paused, and he shook his head. "Just wait a little longer. Once your Mom's emotions stabilize, I'll talk to her about it."
However, that wait stretched on and on, and the bullying at school only got worse. Dylan and a few other boys constantly harassed me, calling me a 'freak' and a 'monster'.
One time during gym class, they cornered me in the bathroom and tried to strip off my clothes to prove I was a girl.
