Let me bring you up to speed. I lost my house in the springtime. I was homeless for a while before breaking my wrist, which landed me back at my parents' house. My stepdad's a transphobic ass. But I'm really close with my mom. Always have been.
She's been slow to adjust to me being a girl. Today she and I went to the grocery store. I was wearing a dress with matching makeup. I came downstairs, and my mom told me I looked pretty! Aaah! And then she pointed out how I lit up when she said that.
I love my mom.
