George

A 10-year-old transgender person struggles to come out to her family and people at school until her best friend has the idea of using the class play as a format for it

When people look at George, they think they see a boy. But she knows she's not a boy. She knows she's a girl.

George thinks she'll have to keep this a secret forever. Then her teacher announces that their class play is going to be Charlotte's Web. George really, really, REALLY wants to play Charlotte.

But the teacher says she can't even try out for the part... because she's a boy.
