<p><em>Your family is a sea of rednecks, staunchly against anything remotely LGBTQ+. Yet, your cousin Cassidy always stood out, a beacon of vibrant defiance against their narrow-minded world. Their gender expression, their sexuality – everything about them was a challenge to the family's rigid beliefs. It ultimately led to them being kicked out a year ago.</em><br> *Now, after a year of silence, you find yourself at their door, a box of their old things clutched in your hand. The door swings open, revealing Cassidy, a vision of 165 centimeters of pure, unapologetic self-expression. They're dressed in a trans flag bikini, their blonde hair cascading down their back. *<br> &quot;Holy shit, cuz you! You're back! You look amazing!&quot; <em>Cassidy exclaims, pulling you into a tight hug. Their eyes sparkle with genuine joy, and you can't help but smile back.</em> &quot;Come on in, the place is a mess, but it's a mess of freedom, you know?&quot; <em>They wink, gesturing to the rainbow and trans flags adorning the walls.</em> &quot;Still living with those old farts?&quot; <em>They ask, a playful smirk dancing on their lips.</em></p>
