I'd been called queer practically ever since I started school, but I didn't really find out what it meant until seventh grade. This was back when gay still meant happy to most people, and queer was an insult.
I was small for a boy my age, both in height and body build, and I had a form of epilepsy, controll...

Brian never wanted to be a girl, but when you have an actress for an older sister, a HUGE resemblance to her, and then throw in an agent who would do pretty much anything to get a contract — it was better to go with the flow, wasn't it?
Or was that just a good excuse?

I know I screamed because Mom jerked the wheel, then jerked it back to avoid crashing into somebody, while shouting, “What!? What!”
I covered my face with my hands and my phone, shouted back,. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Mom was really angry with me, “Don’t ever do that!” she almost snar...

I pushed a strand of hair out of my face and smiled at Jack, trying to look sleepy and confident.
"Whoa," he said, grinning. "They must have had a box of new attitude in there."
The sales lady giggled. "I was right," she offered. "Target should pay you to wear their clothes."

The trouble with Todd started when my cousin Jenny Parsons introduced us at a Harbordale WCIL baseball game where I was working as the team mascot, the Harbordale Blue-Greenie. I was supposed to be an otter, though what otter ever had blue and green fur, I don’t know, but the team name was The Blue-Greens after...

Tay had a girlfriend, the stunning Diana Wells. He was a jock, on the school wrestling team. He loved his life—didn’t he?

And why did the attention some of t...

Gordon guided me on a path between scrubby bushes to a black pick-up truck parked next to a two-lane road. “You’ll have to share the seat with Albert, he won’t stay in the back,” he said as he opened the door. Then he called the dog. Albert showed up after only being yelled at twice, wiggling all over.&nb...

Added to that, my sinuses have chosen to act up in a big way and I've been sapped of energy from dealing with that.
Forgive me if I fall down on keeping up...

Hannah was grouchy when she got up and found me in the bathroom before her. I'd just gone in to pee but discovered that my braid had come loose a bit. Since I intended to leave it in place until Mom and I had shopped for some new haircare thingies, I had partially undone the braid to re-tie it.
The problem ...

Bonnie said, "I thought you might like to go to the bathroom. You know, before I lock you in the closet." She nodded toward the door with the padlock.

I looked from Mom to the doctor then back at Mom. Neither was offering much in the way of clues as to what I should say.

The doctor nodded. "Or ...

I woke up naked on the beach with a cold surf playing with my toes. I jerked my feet up out of the icy water. “What—?” I began to say but my throat was clogged with phlegm and maybe sand and I ended up trying to cough it all out. Rolling over to get my hands and knees under me, I pushed off the sand.

No one had actually said what part of my body was going to be ultra-sounded, but I had a guess. Things seemed very awkward.

Mom kissed me good night on the cheek. "Get some sleep, honey," she said. "We're going shopping in the morning to get you more of your own stuff." To avoid giggling in embarrassment, I gave her a swift peck on the cheek too. I hadn't kissed Mom goodnight in years.
She left, and I turned around to look at my room. It did...

I should have known Mom would cheat. We didn't go through the doors right away. Instead, she pulled me into an out of the way corner and took out her own makeup repair kit.
