How I Became A Boy (Emergency deflection blog)

No. I did not switch my gender. As far as I'm aware anyway.

Apparently today or this week in general I have changed. I thought I had changed into MORE of a girl. I got my hair highlighted again, I got new makeup, I was wearing very cute clothes. It was noticed. I thought.

My boss told me that my eye makeup looked really good.

A few hours later I was feeling pretty smug about this when I was told by someone who needed help showering that I was a boy. He said it just like this, “Well Alli, you know, you're kinda like a boy.”

My heart broke.

I walked into the staff office and told my coworkers about this. Of course, they are two men and since men are incapable of seeing a girl be completely distraught they really didn't pay it any mind. One of them said very matter of fact that he had heard that before from other residents about me. I told him to shut up...then I realized, he is serious....

A couple days later I was about to get into the elevator with a completely different person. He called me SIR. I corrected him, but he told me that he was SURE that I was a SIR. I told him to just please call me Alli. He said, “Yes, sir.”

I realized I wasn't going to get very far with this so I just walked into the office sadly. I still can't figure out what makes me a boy at all. The earlier person did eventually tell me it was because I can hang. “You're just one of the boys, Alli. You need to paint your nails. That's how you get a man. I know you are on a manhunt.”

Well, God love 'em. I suppose I can handle being a boy for now. 

When my camera gets fixed I am going to post a picture of myself right here. 

Judge for yourself if I am like a boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
