Wende

Wende, age 7
Chatsworth, GA (1981)
 
This was my mothers attempt to get me to stop wearing overalls everyday.

I LOVED it, especially the cowboy boots!

By this time, I had known for a couple of years that there was something different about me.
I preferred the company of boys,
I hated dolls, and I really liked the girl in swimsuit model poster that my cousin had hanging on his wall.

I didn't totally understand why I shouldn't mention my affinity for that poster - I just knew there would be negative repercussions if I did.
