Trans-Sister Radio (2000)
“"His living here will be an experiment." " 'Cause you haven't lived with a man since Dad?" She sipped her tea, and then did something I'd never before seen her do: She slipped her pinkie into her mouth and gnawed off a piece of her nail. I noticed for the first time since I'd been home that she'd begun biting her nails.
"Because I haven't lived with a woman since college," she said.
I nodded. For a moment, it seemed, that explained everything: The fact that Dana's face was as smooth as mine, th...e way he'd fixed my barrette the night we had met. The smell of his shampoo. Dana, I concluded, was actually a woman who for some reason was trying to pose as a man. Maybe she had something to hide. Maybe she had someone to hide from. Maybe, pure and simple, she was a lesbian who was still figuring out what it meant to be butch. I had already met a girl like that at Bennington.
But then my mom added the relevant details, and what for a few brief seconds had started to make sense grew confusing.
