Daisy

De: Terri Peterson

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Desmond Chan is not a typical boy, nor does he wish to be. In fact, Des is happiest with girls, longs to be with them because, inside, Des knows he is a girl trapped in a male body. Outed by an uncle at a sixteenth birthday party, Des goes on the run, and is picked up by members of a local gang. Rather than being intimidated by them, Des joins them, sells drugs for them, and they become family for the runaway. Des undergoes treatment for gender dysphoria and hormone therapy with Doctor Jacobs, until the doctor's untimely death on a packed evening commuter train, but by this time, Des has become Daisy, and is rising to power in the gang hierarchy. Daisy enjoys the wealth and bloody violence that gang culture brings, becoming almost indifferent to brutality and murder. Ultimately, she is to fulfil a destiny - to break free of the male chrysalis and become the beautiful butterfly within - but, at the same time, unleashing the cold-hearted power of The Snow Queen. The first instalment of the sequel to "Strange Little Girls".
