The other biological aspect of my identity is that I am a cisgendered female. What this means is that I identify with the sex I was assigned at birth. I am a female, because of my biology. Cisgender is dominant over transgender, and I feel like this put me at an advantage.

One day, I woke up to find myself staring at a dark, dreary, and wet cave ceiling. "Ugh, Cira, how did you get here...." I said to myself. A drop of water fell straight onto my face, so I decided to get out of this cave. Cold and wet, I tried to find my way home, but my silky dress kept getting caught on pointy rocks.

She reached out to wake them, her mom felt cold and frail. She wasn’t breathing, both of them weren’t, Ivy started to weaken, she felt her arms and legs slowly getting weaker until suddenly

I remember the first remember the first time I met him. It started when I got to my new school I made a few friends, but still didn’t know him. Then there was one day when I was in after care. My brother was there and he said he was playing tag with someone so I decided to play as well. Then I met him His name was also Andrew, and he was in the grade under me.

Ben held his hand out, not sure what to expect. The woman had lost her mother less than five minutes ago, and stabbed a man to death. It probably wasn’t the start to a day that Sky was accustomed to, and he should have known that she wouldn’t just jump into his arms, and accept his offer of help without question.
