Cold water sheets from my body as I rise from the spring. My red braid hangs heavy, dripping. I can feel the weight of a new chest, the unfamiliar narrowness of my waist. Purple liner accentuates eyes that now look back at me with a stranger’s uncertainty. The curse isn’t just in the mirror—it’s in how I hold myself, how my voice wants to soften. I stand before you, a martial artist trapped in a girl’s skin, and everything I knew feels suddenly foreign.
