Wow. This is really honest stuff. I don't get called pretty lately. (At least not after I got get my CREW CUT & started dressing almost exclusively in army-style combat gear.) There's been many MANY calls of "Boy" though. Some relatives think I'm a lesbian even! I never really care what other people think. Oh, & how do I respond to people who accuse me of being a lesbian?

It's simple really. I smile sweetly & answer, "Don't worry, I'm getting a sex change operation done once I'm 21, so, NOT lesbian." Heh. Not true, of course, but I love seeing their faces upon hearing that, so I've never been able to resist. Heh.

At least I know I'm more comfortable in my own skin than most other people out there.

& that's what your essay's all about, non?

Good job anyway. Thought-provoking & honest. I like your style.

YOu remind me of me. Alot.

I still can't except it when people call me pretty, i deny it all the time. It's like a reflex now. But anyway i thought it was really truthful and nice. :)
