In the story “George” by Alex Gino George is unhappy because she is lonely, she needs to be herself in secret and, cannot show her true identity and all of this is just because she is transgender.

She needs to call herself the name that she wants in secret and can 't show her true identity and since she does not share this with her family they do not know her true Identity so people assume that the identity she has now is her true identity but it is
