You know why I came, I thought. Then I had an even more uncomfortable thought: You've been waiting for me.

"This secret electricity. I wonder if he even knows what it is."
I wondered if he even cared. Which was a scary thought.

Then they all began to sing. The tune was "Happy Birthday," but the lyrics had changed. "Something happened... TO YOU! Something happened... TO YOU! Something happened, dear Jamie, something happened TO YOU!" That was when I began to scream.

He could have killed me, and sometimes -many times, actually- I wish he had.

PS: I guess you probably won't pay attention to this, Jamie, but if you don't clean up your act, you'll be in prison a year from now.
That's if you're lucky. Dead if you're not.

"Reverend was right about one thing: people always want a reason for the bad things in life. Sometimes there ain't one."

"You're not real!" I shouted. "You're not real! It's all a bunch of tricks! Damn you, Jesus! Damn you, Jesus! Damn you, damn you, damn you, Jesus!" I ran up the stairs, crying so hard I could barely see.

"At first there were no words, just that banshee wailing. I almost wish it had stayed that way, but it didn't. 'Where's his face?' he cried.
'Where's my little boy's face?"

I can't bear to believe this presence in my life had anything to do with fate. It would mean that all these terrible things - these horrors - were meant to happen. If that is so, we live in darkness like animals in a burrow, or ants deep in their hill. And not alone.

That is not dead which can eternal lie,

I think of Aiden first thing in the morning, I think of the tiny desk we share at the station and how he's slowly made space for me there. I think of my name yelled down a cobblestone alley, Aiden appearing between the streetlamps. I think you're the magic.

"You're crushing on me and my pineapple pizza," she says.
I frown at her. "I didn't do it on purpose."

I feel like I have a neon sign on my forehead: I made our with Aiden at the radio station. In smaller letters right beneath: And I liked it a lot. Sans serif font, size eight in the bottom right corner: Probably shouldn't do it again, though.

I find myself alone in the booth on Friday night, it's good. Fine. Lucie's first steps in the wide world of dating.
All systems go.
Excellent.
Two thumbs way up.

Maya shrugs, scooping the avocado off her sweater. "I think books are sexy," she says very seriously. "No one at school has quite lived up to Aragorn yet." God, I love this kid.

I need a door that locks and a soundproof window between
me and the rest of the world. But my booth isn't empty and there's someone sitting in my chair. Lucie.

I thought people who worked in radio were supposed to be hideous. That's the saying, isn't it? A face made for radio. It's a stupid saying. And clearly, a saying that has no actual basis in fact or reality, because... Because Aiden Valentine does not have a face for radio.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She chuckles.
"Because you've got a big, squishy heart in there, you grumpy asshole."

Finally, after the longest minute of my life, Grayson tilts his screen so I can see it. "You've gone viral." I drop my mug to the floor with a thunk. "Oh shit." Maya and I say in unison.

Hoe is het in godsnaam mogelijk dat mijn transitie naar non-binair zo verschrikkelijk binair is geworden?

I'm not mad Maya called in to a radio station and exposed my dismal love life to the greater Baltimore area.
I'm embarrassed.

Acht jaar geleden gebeurde het.
Transformeerde ik.
Evolueerde ik als een Pokémon.
Een nieuwe ik.

Love is a lie.
At least, that's what the sign above the door tells me.

Kom, kinderen, zegt de juf. We gaan een spelletje doen.
We spelen jongens tegen de meisjes en ik verlies altijd.

Wouter van Noort is 73% done with Gender Queer: A Memoir

A huge part of who I am is due to the suite of hormones and neurochemicals present in the womb as my cells developed.
So Lady Gaga was right - I was born this way.
What a RELIEF.

Wouter van Noort is 41% done with Gender Queer: A Memoir

Quote from an entry I wrote in 2004, when I was 15:
I don't want to be a girl. I don't want to be a boy either.
I just want to be myself.

Wouter van Noort is 23% done with Gender Queer: A Memoir

One day my best friend gave me a note: "Dont read any more gay romances, you get absolutely unbearable for days after." But by the end of the year she had started coming to QSA meetings with me. This group morphed into an LOTR fan club, with meetings discussing which of the Lord of the Rings actors were most likely to be gay.

'You don't get it,' Mina shouted, backing away from the window.
'They're real. The monsters are fucking real!'
