Things I didnāt realize were strange most of my lifeā¦I didnāt look in the mirror much and when I did, Iād look directly in the eyes cause I didnāt relate to the person staring back. I have a memory of saying my given name over and over and each time it felt more foreign to me like it wasnāt even a name, like it was losing meaning. I even mentioned it to my dad once and of course he laughed at me. But maybe that was his standard reaction cause I once told him I hated being a girl
