My father, the loving man he is, told me that when i turned twelve, I would turn into a boy. But my sister (who was thirteen at the time) was a girl. I pointed this out to him, and told me that Heather had been a boy untill she turned twelve. From then on I had my mom buy me boys clothes so that I would be prepared. I was pissed off when I turned twelve and was still a girl.
