Welcome to a graphic memoir by Lewis Hancox. Lewis wasn't always Lewis. He was born Lois and lived as Lois up until high school. In high school Lois began to get serious about living a guy. Having parents who were divorced, but still fairly understanding when she told them she wanted to be a boy, made things a bit more bearable at home, but not out in the rest of the world.
At the time there wasn't much information about transitioning so dressing as a male and acting as one was the main solution to a problem that seemed to be getting bigger the older Lois got. Changing clothes for physical education was a nightmare, listening to teasing and taunting from classmates was painful, and being told things would get better were all facts of life for Lois/Lewis.
Another painful part of the misadventure was determining who was attractive. Were girls the answer or would Lewis be interested in other guys? Answers to many of the questions came eventually. Lewis shares his transgender path in hopes it will help others experiencing the same struggles.
