Finding Yourself

Andrew hurriedly scrolled through the article. The word had a beautiful sound. Transgender. He wasn't delusional. Age 13, Andrew was certain, that he was meant to be a she. She had already wanted to rename herself Anna. Close enough to her birth name. But there was the slight problem of her parents' attitude toward the LGBTQ+. Her father hated them, he thought that they were rebellious teens going through a 'phase' and their parents needed to make them shut up. Her mother...it was hard to tell. Her mother didn't like the idea, Anna knew that. But...she wasn't really against the members of the queer community. Her mother didn't support it though. And Anna's mother always agreed with her husband. Anna needed to tell someone. And there was one choice. Christopher. Her sweet, supportive brother, who was always there for her. He would keep her secret. Anna was sure of it.
