Erika is a girl, a person, who no longer exists.
She wasn't a "well-rounded" child, as the elders in her childhood neighborhood would say. She was a... strange child.
Girls didn't wear loose shirts to cover their chests or wear hats to hide their long hair, nor did they put mascara under their noses to simulate facial hair. Girls didn't do that, and their parents knew it. Girls didn't grimace or look down when their names were called. Girls didn't sit like boys. Girls... weren't boys. Erika knew this, she knew that none of these things were done by other girls her age, not by her girl classmates... only by her. This was one of the reasons why Erika didn't have female friends, she only had male friends.
She knew, and we know, that she is not a girl. She never was a girl. She never will be a girl.
His chest felt more and more uncomfortable, his clothes were getting looser and looser, his eyes were getting sadder and sadder. He was never her. Why would he want to be Erika? If Alexander was buried deep inside his heart, begging to come out and be free. Why would he want to be Erika? If that wasn't who he was.
Alexander came out. He made himself known. He introduced himself to the people he trusted most... But Alexander wasn't recognized for who he was; he was always mistaken for Erika.
Erika, Erika, Erika...
Years passed. Alexander was buried again in Erika's heart... until finally, Erika was the one buried and Alexander gave her a proper funeral. He said goodbye to his old sports bras, he said goodbye to his old t-shirts that weren't masculine enough, he said goodbye to the back-length hair her mother forced her to have. Alexander said goodbye to her... not as a burden, but as if she were another person who suffered so he could have his peace.
Goodbye, Erika. We hardly knew you. 🏳️⚧️
