The Story of 'R'

'R' had his hand and forearm swathed in plaster. Two days earlier he'd tried to punch out the reinforced glass window in his front door. That one angry punch had broken most of the bones in his right hand. It was just the last of many angry punches. 'R' radiated anger.

Aggression was in the way he walked. Belligerence was in the silver-studded leather jacket hanging from his shoulders even on the hottest day. Anger was in the tremble of his voice. It glared like bitter razors from his eyes.

He was in his early twenties. Melbourne-born. A tiny baby with a micro-penis. An officially undersized willie that, unlike a fish, could not be thrown back. It is part of a medical mythology that is passed around the profession like an urban legend. "Boys with micro-penises can't grow to be real men if their willies are too small to insert into a vagina," runs one myth. Another is they'll grow up thinking they are not 'proper' men. They might even think they're female.
