The Peacock 1375

I didn't know what to say. He fixed me in his gentle green-eyed glare. "I can tell", he said. "I know you are not allowed to talk about it here. But with me you are safe. I am your friend." We began to visit regularly. I would come in just when he was booking off, and we would sit and chat for half a hour. He said that even if he had a boy's body and a boy's name, it wan't adequate for him, yet he is not trans either. He has absolutely no sense of gender or gender identity. This became our secret. We would talk about so many things but we also had and still have this profound soul bond. And I think it's because that even though I have transitioned to being a woman, really, like Philip, I have no gender....
