Keep the Gender Receipt: MälarQueers, #3

By Emma Lindhagen

Some comings-out involve changing rooms, not closets.

 

The days between Christmas and New Year's Eve are heaven and hell for Marie-Louise. On one hand, it means three days of quiet to read and eat leftovers. On the other hand—braving the horrors of the post-Christmas sales to exchange the plethora of femme gear her family gifted her for a new, butch look. She'd love a new name to go along with it, but she doesn't expect to find that in a store.

 

Then again, she also doesn't expect to find the nerdy girl of her dreams in the check-out line at H&M...

 

Keep the Gender Receipt is a queer, Young Adult, contemporary romance novelette about gender, dapperness and tabletop rpgs. It is set in Stockholm, Sweden and is about 12,500 words long.
