There is something about bipoc and queer retelling of stories from your childhood that feels perfect. As I finished this story at my job full of homophobic Healthcare workers where I am professionally straight. I am Sophia. I am Cinderella. So often the argument of straight parents and people is they dont want their kids exposed to it. Its inappropriate & to that I saw i hope no queer child is unlucky enough to have you as parents. We suffer enough. I have suffered enough.
