This restrictive society sucks
Last year T-11 made her first BFF. They both share a love of horses and pretend play that usually ages out at this point, so it was nice they found another person to be an immature little kid around since everyone else in their grade is going through puberty.
But yesterday when I invited the BFF over to play with us while her brother's at a 3 hour football practice she declined because she wanted to ride her bike around the park instead. T-11 told me that BFF's been a little rough this year, she seems angy and she also seems embarassed by T-11 when other people are around. T-11 said she figures her BFF is going through THE CHANGE and can't decide if she's embarassed because people think they are boyfriend/girlfirend since T-11 looks so much like a boy, or if she's embarassed by the games they used to play.
I was heartbroken to hear this, because that kid doesn't make friends very easily and BFF was such a good match. Unlike me, T-11 was unaffected. She's told me before she has some backup friends and things don't usually bother her unless she's sick or having a low day, then it's a crisis.
This morning I was playing my Youtube playlist as I got them ready for school and T-11 asked if she could play a song. This was what she picked:

Oh man, I think it's going to be a rough and lonely few years for her.
