A depressed, closeted trans girl has a bad experience looking for clothes that causes her to be dysphoric, causing her friend to decide to push a bit in order to try and comfort her.
Based in large part on my own experiences and feelings (hence the title)
This sits in a huge gap between what's written and reality. Not everyone is short, thin, cute, immediately (or ever) passing, knock out, praised by everyone with the possible exception of parents and some (but not all) friends, and getting it together before hitting 25 (but probably before leaving high school). Not to mention having immediate, impressive changes upon starting feminizing hormones.
