Danielle's First Time

"Wow, I never knew that mom, I've always wondered how it is that Cynthia and Theresa hate men so much but they are good friends with me. I'd just assumed it's because they'd watched me grow up."

"No, they both knew that you were really my little girl on the inside. I'm very sorry that I didn't seek out help for you earlier."

Later Danielle calls her best friend of the past 20 years, Brad. "Brad, this is Daniel."

"Hey Daniel, what's up dude?"

"A lot."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes. I have something I have to tell you, this is going to be very difficult for me."

"Okay. What is it?"

"Well, I know that you really fucking hate fagots, so I want you to know I'm not a fag, please keep that in mind."

"Okay."

"I went to see a gender therapist and I've been diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria, that's when I person feels out of place due to his or her gender identity."

"I know what Gender Dysphoria is."

"Okay, well I'm a transgender, and from now on I wish to be referred to with female pronouns and my name is Danielle."

"Wow." Brad paused for a moment to let this sink in, knowing how difficult it must have been for Daniel to tell him this Brad thinks for a moment then, "I have something to confess to you too."

"What's that?"

"Back in school when we first met, when I first laid eyes on you I thought you were the cutest girl on the school bus, in fact I'd approached your sister to ask her if she'd ask you out for me. You sister said, 'but that's my brother.' I felt embarrassed, and I looked at you again, knowing that you weren't dressed as a woman I knew you weren't trying to look like a girl, so I asked you sister to forget that I'd ever asked that and to just keep it between her and I."

"Wow."

"And over the past 20 years there have been many time that I have caught myself staring at your ass and having to remind myself, 'that's a dude.'"
