A dear friend of mine sent me a video on my cell phone the other day of her daughter dancing at The Harvest Festival. She is, my friend's daughter, a wonderful dancer who never stops doing pirouettes, Ariel's, cartwheels, and various other extravagant moves she has choreographed alone and with her dance teacher. She lives to dance. She is also, at age ten, a mermaid who slips on her mermaid tail, shiny blue with golden fins, and turns into an ancient myth in the pool at The Hollywood Roosevelt. She is able to mesmerize even the most hardened pool side hipsters and tells me that when she is in the water with her fins and tail she feels the freest. She is unique in may ways, one of them being that she is transgender. Since the age of four she has stood her ground that she is a girl, and now at age ten it is clear that she is.
