It was never a choice. I did not choose to be who I am, I did not decide that I should become a woman. I was born a man, but I have the inner soul of a woman. Is that a crime?
They tell me I'm an affront to nature. To me, it is as plain as knowing that I love ice cream, that I should correct the mistake that was given to me in birth.
Yet, I am tortured by my peers.
Yesterday, I found a box of tampons inside my locker. Each stained with red marker.
I've been assaulted by my male classmates.
However, I know that one day... I will have my true body, when I am no longer Joey T Washington, But Josie B Washington!
