I realized by the end (and maybe this was spelled out too heavy-handedly by the author), that this book is an allegory about change. We are not static people, we are not necessarily defined by the gender listed on a birth certificate, the name given to us, or the expectations of other people. We can change, and we should change, as we grow into the person that we are meant to be. Sometimes this change will be painful, uncertain, and unaccepted by others, but that's ok. Because as long as you know who you are, that change was meant to happen.
