'i hate you'
he said
looking at the sister
who used to be a brother
'what would dad say?
if he were alive today'
'i don't know'
i replied
'but he was a good man
he'd probably say
i love you, i just don't recognise you'

Thank you for entering
I think with the picture you have inserted a touch of humour into this offering but well done none-the-less. It still speaks a truth, I like how the brother hides behind how others may feel to allow himself to hate. He's probably too embarrassed to allow his new sister to be happy and would rather hate. Thank you. -
Great job
Like the other comment says, It was simple and cut to the chase. Great write, thanks for the entry. -
This is a simple yet powerful piece. Most people don't understand why other people do these things. I think whatever makes the person happy. Hating someone just because they change genders seems a little extreme. Sure it get some taking used to but they still need love.

good
this is simple to the point and probably hurtful to the person who wrote it,but it says it like it is truthful and honest. great write
