My mom just does not understand that I'm a transguy even though she says she does. It's driving me crazy!?

No, it's not. She may just disagree with your opinion of him, but pervert is a very normal term.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
