I have to admit...
...real life had me crying even before I began to read, but what happened to this poor child was so disturbing that I cried even more. My fondest hope for this story is that Marilyn is able to live, at least in some manner or form; she deserves to have a life. Thank you again for writing this sweet and compelling piece.

ANother Great Chapter
RAMI
This is another great chapter in this well written story. Merritt’s tale rings true. The description of the community and times is authentic. It is a shame that someone with the connections and worldliness of Viola is unaware that even in 1946, men could design women’s clothes and do so openly.

...in church. (And Father Mulcahy turns out to at least be more nuanced than the unfeeling evil predator at least some of us were expecting. Doesn't make it much easier on Merritt, of course.)
Just occurred to me: does anybody else see a parallel here between Merritt's discovery of Fr. Mulcahy's proclivities and Jim's experience with Marilyn? (Both even are named Jim -- this may not be as subtle as I thought.)
Finally caught up with this story, and I'm looking forward to Merritt's senior year.

Marilyn's Impossible Dream, or She's So Pretty -- Chapters 27
Me, I am hoping that Merritt can forgive the priest for what happened. He is obviously remorseful over his actions and needs absolution from Merritt s back then there was no understanding about such things and seeking counseling within the church would hurt them both. As for Merritt's future, only he can choose who to be.

Obviously remorseful?
Merritt never mentioned the incident to anyone, but he never forgot it. He often wondered whether he should tell someone, however, just in case Father Mulcahy was ever inclined to foist his sickening desires upon some other unsuspecting altar boy. Yet, he rejected the idea, perhaps out of shame or of respect for this “man of God.â€
In a closed system with no accountability, Father Mulcahy was likely going to re-offend. And Merritt likely wasn't the first of his victims; he preyed on the boy by cultivating a trusting relationship even before he offended the boy. Forgiveness will only help Merritt at this point, and it's TOO SOON to consider forgiving the man who molested him since the abuse just took place! Like everything else regarding abuse, healing takes time. And just because there was no 'understanding' doesn't make the priest's offense any less evil.

Our Boy
dresses like a girl goes out with boys and has a mother
having a lesbian affair. This boy has serious problems
and no amount of counseling is going to change that
unless some serious changes our made at home. Putting
on a dress does not make him a girl. Going out with
guys and having them believe he is a girl is a no no.
He is lucky the boy he went out with was a decent fellow.
He is asking for an ass kicking. I do not condone violence,
nor do I believe the majority of young men do, but some do.
This guy has some serious problems. He needs help and has
no one to turn too. As for the story it jumps around
trying to appease those who like these stories as opposed
to a story with a person with problems or challenges.
Aw.... Come On, Kap
Merritt/Marilyn has a female brain and is a girl. Apparently she has the wrong plumbing, but evidently not much T, so she's lucky, or will be when she transitions.
She will probably still be alive in '52, hear about Christine Jorgenson, and start trying to get her own HRT and surgery. Haven't you learned about TG and TS people from being on this site?
I'm sure Kathy isn't writing this to "appease" "those who like these stories". This is a TG fiction site; I figure it attracts and is for those who like TG and other fiction. I personally "like" these stories, because I'm TS, post-op for 19 years and I like reading about people similar to me with some of the same problems that I've gone through.

Chruch and Merrit
Kaptain Nibbles, that was a pretty harsh thing to say don't you think?
I mean if you have read the whole story up to this point then you should already realize that Merrit has the brain of a female. Also, hardly and obviously any testoterone to help develop his body or her body rather since he/she needs estrogen at this point in life to be able to live happily since shortly after birth Merrits mind was geared for being female! Once the humans mind has already been geared or written to be female trying to live the life of a man is nearly impossible when it comes to being happy!
How do I know you ask? I have been there and still am!!! Hopefully someday soon I will have my surgery which will not only make me happy but also my boy friend!
I have met hundreds of TS women who are very unhappy trying to live the life of a male, very unhappy!! Many have tried going the route of suicide and too many have succeeded! I was nearly one of those who nearly succeeded!
Thanks to a good friend in CA. I am still alive and doing much better. :}
There are a great many people who no one would believe that they are men or had been a man Looking at them one would positively be female but find out later on that they are a male and yes dressing the part of a male and with short hair! They are miserable living their lives because so many people think that they are freaks and treat them as such and for no good reason other than their appearance which is of course no fault of their own. Thank Mother Nature for her cruelty!
Living our lives is no cake walk believe me!
Before making judgements one should walk in the shoes of the person who is being judged!
