I don't really see the point.

Transition. That feeling of being stuck. A hint of hope that leaves you delirious because there just might be a way to be happy. Idle, transitory moments that show you what could be, that you're not alone, that you're a rebel. I wouldn't have understood this if I read it ten years ago. But right now I get it.

its lacking context so it makes you think a lot. i wonder what she means when she asks if they're doing the wrong thing?

A short and sweet story about two high school girls professing their love for one another, one of whom is transgender.
A hidden gem on this website, and quite a progressive work from this author who was ahead of her time, this being from a collection of stories published all the way back in 1996, she will be greatly missed.
And to respond to the person above me I think what they mean is in a way they're breaking all the conventional rules by being with each other as not only they're both girls, but also because one of them is trans.

I think there should be like a memorial page or something dedicated to authors who have passed away, the only other one I've heard of is Ssamba
