I was sent to an all boys christian school from first to sixth grade. Nobody had thought me to act like a boy, so I went around being myself, a girl. I could not understand why my classmates rejected me and constantly were hitting me. It was even harder the constant hitting imparted by the priests, who were also the teachers. I learned to become invisible and to hide, that help but did not prevent the beatings. In fifth grade things come to a climax of sort. While changing for gym, one of the priest noticed I was wearing panties. He punched me in the face repeatedly making my nose and mouth bleed, then he pull my pants down to my ankles, took me to the outside patio and while most of the schools kids and the other priests were looking, proceeded to lash me in the back and legs with his belts until he was out of air. I could see the horror in the faces of my schoolmates, but nobody came to my help despite my cries. Later on, the janitor picked me up and eased me to an spigot where he helped me to wash myself. I would never forget the taste of blood and dirt in my mouth!
A few days ago I went to the department of motor vehicles to have my licence change from M to F. Well, after the deal was done, they guy behind the counter, who is an state employee, told me: "You know, Jesus love you just the way you are, God made you a perfect man, you do not have to change that!"
All the painful memories rushed to my mind and filled me with extreme rage, i wanted to reach across the counter a beat the ever loving ->-bleeped-<- out this Christian bastard. But not, I kept my coolness by remembering that "revenge is better served cold."
I was so humiliated and mortified; I went home and cried for a while. Later on I told what happened to my oldest boy, who is a Marine. My son got really angry, and told me me we had to do something about.
Well, today I went to the motor vehicle departmen with my son, and spoke to the head of the department, and related the incident. The lady boss apologized profusely and told me: "a letter of reprimented will be entered in the bastard official file, and that later on it will be counted negatively during his yearly evaluation, and that if he does it again, he will be fired."
Perhap she deserved more, and I could have gotten more if I had taken this matter with my lawyer, but to know that the bastard can kiss good bye any promotion or salary increase is enough for me.
