Dear God

The talk

You know, when I started my transition, I swore up and down I was still into girls, and it wasn’t going to change. Then I met Max, and suddenly I found my inner flirt.

For example, I know that the boy has a serious foot fetish, and so yesterday went out and get a super pedicure, and then wore the highest heels of my life, with thigh high stockings thrown in for good measure.

I slipped back into my all-in-one girdle. Steve could not take his eyes off me while I was dressing. I was thinking maybe he would like to wear one of these girdles. He loves bras so much.

This chapter addresses the first steps towards helping Christopher, AKA Christine but more affectionately called Chrissie by the family at the cottage.

My knees bend, my head I bow
As I struggle to answer why
My friend would choose to die
