I've known this girl since we were 11. Had a crush on her since we reconnected at 20. Now, 27, she has told me within the last few days that she has been IN LoVE with me for years now.
Haven't seen her since this came to light but I'm seeing her tonight... wish us luck??
The girl tells her dad she’s not a she/her — she’s a they/them. The dad says he love her — sorry, them — no matter what. A few years later, he pays for their surgery. When he wakes up, he says he wants to go to McDonald’s, and get that boy toy she never got
Y'all: We owe EVERYTHING to all of our wonderful contributors. It’s never easy to select nominees, but we felt the following pieces really highlighted our focus and drive here at CP.
We hope you'll congratulate them with us today! (thread)
Been a goooood week for writing & awards—pssst! CP award noms coming Monday!!—& we feel blessed to have pub'd these two magnificent works (ICYMI)

“‘He’s blessing his food,’ my father says as Brendan walks around our kitchen island. He touches things softly, his finger like moonlight settling on the rim of a cup.”
Two brilliant shorties.
"He says I seem like a joyous person. I nod again because that sounds like a nice kind of person to be."
