A bittersweet ending for your story.

Two young ones who were just trying to find their path, it matters not what your gender happens to be, but for some, it is a reason to hate and fear you. I usually read much lighter fare, and I usually end up writing silly nonsense of no particular importance.

Reading about a person taking their life is hard to do, but it is that much harder to see someone like the principle in your story continuing to spew venom and hatred. At the very least he should have been brought up on charges, and lose his position in the community.

Mr. West, and quite possibly Mrs. West, should try to seek some sort of therapy.

There should have been more in regard to Kei confronting her parents fully about this situation, and what she really needs to do in order to fulfill her life. You suggest that Ken has become Kei, but you could've done more. I do like how Kei stands up for herself, she has the fiery spirit of her namesake (yes, I am a Dirty Pair fan from way back).

Let us hope Kei becomes a Lovely Angel. ~.^

Kim West.

Very powerful and enlightening, I stand in awed silence by your literary skills.  That was a magnificent short story, it made me think...
