James is a rather odd name for a girl, wouldn't you think? I mean--nobody would look at the name James and think "this is girl". It did not help that her gender was legally male from birth--and people expected her to act male.

Though, her mom had a rule, "you live under my house, you live by my rules."

So it was okay--I mean, after she moved out (preferably at the age of 18--maybe 16 if she could really rush through school), she would be more than free to be a girl. It is not like it would be that hard after she moved out, right? -- this was something she still remembers her view on how this sort of thing works on her first day of kindergarten.

Author guidance for This work

This is a biography of a girl I know. She is a close friend, who has lived a ridiculously interesting life. To the point that you'd have to wonder if she was the embodiment of Confuscious' Curse.

Nothing explicit will be described. It just deals with a girl who started off life with a lot... well "missing" is not quite the right term here.

This mostly posted here, as I kind of think her story may help others. It is kind of disappointing to both me and her, how little their is for literature on this.

I mean you want gay, lesbian or bisexual nonfiction narratives, you need a truck. But for transsexual nonfictional narratives you just need a dashboard glove compartment. No wonder she thought shemales were movie special effects growing up.
