It\u2019s bad enough that he is too \u201cgirly,\u201d and the boys think he\u2019s a \u201csissy.\u201d He gets bullied regularly and violently. This book covers the coping strategies used to survive bullying and worse. Rex reaches out for help, telling his parents who ignore him, even a psychologist who tells him never to speak of it again, and tries to talk him into accepting that he is a boy on the outside and must stay that way regardless of the girl on the inside.<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B09T7C66ZK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find Out More<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undercover Book 1 Childhood This book addresses the issues of being a transgender girl who is not able or allowed. to transition.
