Christo­pher Davis tries to be invis­i­ble in mid­dle school, but being small and smart, he’s still a tar­get for bul­lies. Chris just goes through life until Mandy, his one friend, points out that his life would be bet­ter as a girl. In fact, Mandy believes that Chris’s true self is female. Chris has nev­er thought he was trans­gen­der but med­ical tests prove that Chris is actu­al­ly inter­sex, a genet­ic variation.

With the sup­port of his moth­er and Mandy, Chris begins the tran­si­tion to liv­ing as Lau­ren. This includes going to school as a girl, deal­ing with class­mates and teach­ers, mak­ing new friends, and dis­cov­er­ing her truest self.
