"Matthew Nolte's report card is stacked with A's, but he scratched out the name on it — which is not Matthew — until the paper wore away, leaving a rectangular hole.

I met this guy at an event sponsored by our local PFLAG. I'm so impressed at his willingness to tell his story so it will help other trans teens.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
