Alexis Season

Alex's voice never got deeper, and he never grew facial hair, or any other things that happen to boys when they hit puberty. Instead, Alex hit puberty like a girl - breasts, curves, the works (except for a period of course, as she no longer had that organ). And as for fulfilling the masculine gender role: if Alex had been a girl, would she not have simply been labeled a tomboy?

So, for the first ten years of Alex's life, her parents raised a boy. But faced with obviously feminine puberty, they realized their mistake. They took her to a doctor, who confirmed their fear. Eventually, they sat Alex down and explained the situation. Alex took it well, and understood her parents' decision at her birth. She did not get mad at them, but she asked plenty of questions and did not stop until she was satisfied. She was curious, rather than outraged, to her parents' relief. When they finished their conversation, which lasted hours, Alex went off to bed to think about what she had learned.

In the morning, she told her parents that she wanted to be referred to as a girl from then on, and she wanted to go out and get a bra. She still liked to dress like a boy - plain shirts and jeans - but she began to shop in the girls' section. She wore girl's panties at first, too, but then decided they didn't seem to fit right, and so stuck with boxers. She still hung out with the boys, because she was still a tomboy of sorts, but she started to grow her hair long. After talking with her school counselor and principal, she was allowed to switch to the girls' bathroom. All of the students in her school knew now her full story, and she got two reactions. Some people were ok with it, and acted toward as if she were totally a girl, and others, like bullies and bratty girls, ostracized her for being different. She took it with pride, and never let it get to her. Her good friends defended her, and she got in trouble many times for fighting. She may have thought of herself as a girl, but she was not afraid to stand up for herself.
