Harry Potter: What Do I Do If Everyone Thinks I'm a Boy?

My name is Justin Archer, and I'm a short-haired Gryffindor girl.

I'm tall and introverted, and I don't like to talk. I always wear hooded clothes under my school uniform, pull up the hood, keep my head down and my hands in my pockets, and go from class to class.

Before I turned eleven, I hadn't had much contact with anyone. So, before coming to Hogwarts, I didn't have a very clear sense of myself. The labels I had for myself all came from the intentional or offhand "comments" other people made about me.

But I never thought I was like a boy, and I never imagined that one day someone would mistake me for a boy, much less grab me by the back of the neck and haul me away from the entrance to the bathroom.

"This is the girls' bathroom, bro."

"????????"

Are you okay??
