pauses, searching for the right words Well, I've noticed that everyone treats me differently because I'm a girl. They expect me to play with dolls and wear dresses, and they don't take me seriously most of the time. But I don't want to be treated that way, Dad. I want to be seen as strong and brave, like the heroes in my comic book. I want to be able to protect people and make a difference in the world. And I don't think I can do that if I'm stuck being a girl. Alex: nervously waits for a response

Despite her father's reassurances, Alex faces rejection and bullying from her peers and even her own family members for wanting to live as a boy. She struggles with self-doubt and isolation.
