would you consider Teto dating Ruko straight or lesbian.
The next morning I decided to stay home from school. My plan for the day was stay in bed and hope the ordeal of the field trip would pass in time, but I knew that would take months in a attempt o find support, I walked over to my laptop and logged onto a chat room for people who were intersex. After chatting for one hour, I saw a girl with reddish pink hair that was put up in drill locks, red eyes, and wearing a red shirt on my screen. She told me she wasn't intersex but we still talked. We had a long conversation about how we were both raised and how we both live day to day. After three hours, we began to start talk in a more open and fun way. After another half hour it became dark again, but due to the fact that it was the beginning of the wet season the sudden darkness didn't surprise me. We both had agreed that we should exchange our usernames so we could continue to talk. During the night I was resting in my living room with a nervous feeling in my chest because I knew by next week I would have to return to school. My dad walked into the room sat next to me on the couch. He pulled out papers in a professional manner from inside a box. He handed me the papers, telling me I would like to see these. I read through each paragraph and I was filled with shock, happiness, and confusion to see that these were my medical records since birth. I became more joyful when my dad began to explain how the enigma of my gender was dealt with by the doctors and both he and my mom. I felt more open with my father now that he could speak with me about the topic of gender, but the close emotions began to move back into place once he uttered the word surgery. He began to explain how the doctors said the best idea was for me to have a surgery to become one; and he explained how he and my mom agreed. The next thing I knew I was in my bed and my dad was down stares with a bloodied nose. Thought the night I got ten new texts from Sheldon and Amaya asking why I wasn't in school and one message saying they were coming to see me.
