Exploring my gender identity at a Catholic HS
At a strict Catholic high school, my journey of self-discovery started in an unexpected place. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the girls' locker room, I found a skirt and a set of undergarments. As I gingerly slipped into them, an overpowering sense of freedom and authenticity washed over me. I felt like I was finally revealing a part of me that had been suppressed for so long.
The wrestling coach’s arrival sent chills down my spine, but his reaction was unexpectedly tender. Instead of anger, he smiled, acknowledging my true self. A thrilling, unspoken tension filled the air, hinting at a captivating future just beyond the reach of this tale.
