Discarded.
The only other “girl” toy I was ever able to get was actually a Cabbage Patch Kid Doll... after over a YEAR of asking for one. That’s a story for another strip, though.
There’s always something difficult about telling childhood stories that require drawing pre-transition me, but this was a story that really required it, I feel. Telling this story and glossing over this part would have been a disservice to WHY finding this toy now was so important to me.








I find this so sad, but I understand the why having worked in a toy and model store for eighteen years.😞
This made me cry. 😢 I'm glad you came through that to become who you are today! ✨
