Her mother also told her that learning how to walk and learning how to sit were among the most important lessons Caitlyn can learn.
No matter how much she layered herself in lipstick and lace, earrings and eyeliner, she had always felt like a gangly tomboy who preferred to rough it in the outdoors with her gun rather than paint her nails at slumber parties.
