Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

This starts out well, with a boy who wants to be a girl and classmate who seem to accept him.   It's cute, he's shy, and yeah. 

Then they start pushing him into wearing dresses, including in front of his family - who he still hasn't come out to, and it gets... weirdly intrusive.   Look, if someone doesn't want to come out, don't push them.   They end up giving him gifts for his birthday that include a dress; when he returns it, that girl trashes it in front of him. 

It's all weird, tense, and pushy.   I kept cringing for the boy, and wanting to tell everyone to back up.   Even the friend of his - a girl who wants to be a boy - ends up calling him names if he doesn't go with her when she goes on an 'outing.'   (She dresses up like a boy and goes as far away as she can on the train, and hangs out.   She gets hit on by girls and stuff.   But, seriously, even though it ends up all good, this isn't fucking support.   This is making him seriously uncomfortable and why is that everyone's first instinct?)

A lot of this is good.   The moments when he's alone and thinking this through are quiet and introspective. 

And then someone else comes along and tries to push him into something uncomfortable and embarrassing.  

Gross, gross, gross.   This was easy to read on one level - the writing - and hard on another - I wanted to punch everyone in the face because everyone was trying to be nice, but they were all really assholes. 

In conclusion:
