Being a girl is even worse than I thought it would be.

Just because I have breasts now doesn't make it all right to call out lewd things on the street. Or to follow me around when I'm trying to walk. Or to offer me dinner repeatedly after I've already said no. I'm not that easy. Doesn't anyone in this city have class?

[plumbagoblue]

My life. You wanna give it back now?

[imperiouswan]

If I could, I would.

Who are you again?

[metallurgicy]

No.

[imperiouswan]

Thanks.

[metallurgicy]

You shouldn't expect certain answers.

[imperiouswan]

I wasn't expecting anything.

[sunshnesongster]

You could get a taser?

[imperiouswan]

Father?

[ohvirility]

Dressing like a girl was a bad idea, too. Then you just get comments about legs and people wondering if you're wearing any underwear... What happened to... to chivalry!?

The man at the deli down the street kissed my hand when I tried to pay and said something about princesses. He smells like baloney. I hate this.

[imperiouswan]

According to everyone else, it's dead. It doesn't make it right, though. It isn't my fault Leuce could only find me dresses.

... He called you a princess?

[ohvirility]

Of course it doesn't. There's nothing to do, though, because when you tell them to stop they just laugh like you're stupid or something. You should go get some girl clothes, I know they have pants. Even though no one offered me any pants.

He... yeah. He said "for you, princess, it's on me". Should I have corrected him and said I was a Prince of Troy? No one believes that, anyway.

[imperiouswan]

Father said something about a little box that keeps them away. If it lasts long enough, we could always try it, though I doubt a box would do much. And I tried to get clothes, but Andromache won't give me money. I hate not being home. I never had to ask for money there.

He probably would've thought you were crazy. Everyone thinks it's a myth, you know. The internet says there's even a movie.

[featheredboy]

Have you tried yelling at them yet? I mean, it didn't work for me but I am me.

[imperiouswan]

So you're incompetent?
