   Summary

   Growing up can be tough. Especially when your dad is a total piece of shit. And especially when you are intersex in the 1980s. And especially when you are harboring secret feelings for your best friend. And especially if you were sexually assaulted at the young age of thirteen by a grown man, not found until the morning after with your clothes torn and hair muddied. And especially if the things that happen consequently are horrors beyond your young teenage brain can comprehend. But a good support system can help Will get through all these troubles and more, especially if his brother is willing to sacrifice the world for him.
   An exploration mainly of season two through the lens of taking all metaphors in utmost seriousness.
