Uncle Bruno was the first
person Travis confessed to about her desire to change her gender. But he seemed
to find the idea distasteful.
About a week after the confession, Travis came home earlier than usual (she'd cut school after lunch break) to find Uncle Bruno listening to her micro-cassette diaries. She'd never experienced such a betrayal, the depth of which momentarily silenced her, and her uncle slunk out of the room. Travis never got a chance to confront him as he moved to Washington soon afterwards. Later she heard he'd been crushed by a carousel at an amusement park. |
