To Be A Girl by Alexandra Hamer

In 1874, at the age of four-and-a-half, Thomas Stanton realises that 'Thomas' is a boy's name and that everyone, even her mother, thinks she's a boy.

So begins the extraordinary journey of a transgender girl who must not only try to understand what it means to be a girl inside the body of a boy, a century before there was even a name for it, but she must soon find some way to change her body before the horror of puberty casts her as a man forever.

This is one girl's breathtaking fight to survive as herself, and to be loved for who she is.

In 1874, at the age of four-and-a-half, Thomas Stanton realises that ‘Thomas’ is a boy's name and that everyone, even her mother, thinks she’s a boy. So begins the extraordinary journey of a transgender girl who must not only try to understand what it means to be a girl inside the body of a boy, a century before there was even a name for it, but she must soon find some way to change her body before the horror of puberty casts her as a man forever. This is one girl's breathtaking fight to survive as herself, and to be loved for who she is.

Mod opinion: I haven't heard of this book before, but it sounds interesting.

I swallow my girlhood, like criticism from my father at the kitchen table over numbers that blur my vision.

I swallow my girlhood as my arms shake when my father yells at me to point the light on the radiator, I swore I was, I swear inside swallowing words that I couldn’t let out.

I swallow my girlhood when my father asks if I need a man to do it for me, taunting me on how weak I am, making me swallow screams that feel like vise-grips on my temples begging to be let out.

I swallow my girlhood as I watch my mom slowly disintegrate into a shell of she used to be causing me to ache in ways I didn’t understand was possible.

I swallow my girlhood when I learn I have no room to be anything but a woman.

I devour the girl I was, for the home I was raised in taught me that I couldn’t afford to be just a girl.

I’ve swallowed and swallowed and swallowed,

and now my throat is bruised with words never spoken

These words try to come out yet, it’s like swallowing rocks-

I’ve held my breathe for so long that I no longer know what it’s like to breathe without thought.

I no longer have to keep quiet

But now I don’t know how to speak up.

i love it when my grandmother uses dialect even if it's a word that i also use. it just hits different, you know?

#brought to you by her calling me back a seventh time to tell me that this book 'isn't spendy at all'#great word. use it all the time. but when it's coming from her i'm like yeah that's exactly where you should be coming from #you homey little regionalism #god the other day i was telling a story in which an adult woman featured prominently and i caught myself about to refer to her as 'a gal'#just like my grandmother does!!!#she doesn't appear to have the word 'woman' in her vocabulary. she says either 'girl' if they're young enough or 'gal' if they're too old #to be a girl #but she can do that because she's 80 something. it would be very different coming from me lol #dialects #slang #my posts

The burden of a woman is to be angry; to be filled with an inexhaustible, generational rage that trickles down as do the hot tears on her face. The soft curves of her frame make for such a tempting punching bag, one that a man cannot help but lust after with both his fists and his tongue.

Like all the rest of her kind, female creatures, she has always found a way of disappointing herself.
