"This is the story of my life--of being trans going all the way back to when I was three years old, but being in the worst possible environment for it: rural Mississippi, surrounded by fundamentalist Christians who also happened to be drug addicts.
After the divorce, my mother went from pain killers to meth, and was murdered when I was twelve, while my father was arrested for embezzlement, and I was shuffled off to my strict, no-nonsense, extremely fundamentalist grandmother who screened everything I could watch, everything I could listen to, and everything I could be exposed to.
This is a story of what it's like to be trans and brought up by fundamentalist Christians who lived in poverty in rural Mississippi. It is also a story of what it's like to be surrounded by drug addicts and abusive alcoholics, to have a father kill a woman when one is four years old, and to listen to a mother choke out "I can't breathe..." at two in the morning."
