SHE TOLD HER

She told her she felt like there was no one on her side

Like she had no allies

She felt no desire to live up to their established social norms 

It takes too much energy and effort to conform

She told her through the bathroom door

I’ll remain in here so long as the problem persists 

She responded with this

As long as you resist, Sis, the problem will persist 

We seem to be at an impasse

So are you coming out? she asked

Not a chance
