Her dad

“Dad…” Nicky said

“Why are you wearing that?”

“I…” Nicky said “Dad… I’m a girl…”

“Okay…”

“Okay?”

“Okay.” He said.

“You’re not bothered by this?”

“No.”

“Why not.”

“Because you’re not the first member of the family to be trans.” He said “I… we have our own secret… I’m not my parents first born ether. That would be my sister… Hannah… who was born Henry…”

“I have a trans aunt?” Nicky asked.

“Yes. The town was told by my father she died… she’s living in San Francisco these days with her husband.”

“So you’re not going to kick me out?”

“Why would I kick my daughter to the curb for being herself? I am not the monster people think I am.”

Nicky smiled.

“Tell you what… I’ll show you I mean it. Let me pee on you.”

Nicky’s eyes widened.

“Please!”

She stood up as he unzipped his pants and aimed for the wet spot she’d made herself a few minutes prior. The feeling on the warm spray hitting her made her feel gender euphoria.
