"Being born into the wrong body can be one of the worst things a person may ever have to face. Physically or emotionally. The struggle to accept yourself, and thereafter to be accepted by others.
The hate faced by others towards you, just because you want to be who you truely are within. The comments, the spiteful behaviour, the kicks. The punches.
Who you feel you are. Who you have the right to be. You all get to have that human right. But I don't. Because wanting to be a woman? That's "wrong" in your eyes. "Disgusting", "Evil"..."
Shaking with emotion, Liam's tear-filled eyes ran back over the words on the paper in his hands as the words passed his lips, hoping that someone... /Anyone/ would take the words he spoke and think again about the actions they undertook. The words they spoke. But he doubted it.
"Three days ago, I was attacked and beaten walking home. For wanting to be who I am." Liam's thin, androgynous form held the cuts and bruises still, nose broken and eye black.
"You deserved it. I'm glad it happened to you!" A voice, deep and rough, broke through Liam's speech, drawing attention to the speaker. "Freaks like you deserve it! Too bad you weren't killed!"
A few cheers greeted this acclimation, mingling with a few "Yeah!"s or "FREAK!"
With that, Liam ran from the classroom as fast as he could, looking to hide underneath the bleachers, where it was quiet. The rain fell, drenching him, but he no longer cared.
(LF: Someone to play a student to befriend Liam/Lily. It can be a popular girl no longer wanting to be associated with bigotry, a geeky guy.. A classmate with an attraction to the same gender, ANYTHING.)
