I cried over a ship. I was sitting in my living room alone. My parents had left to go to a car show in a town a couple of hours away. Slouching in my dad's recliner, I turned on the TV and started watching Ru Paul's Drag Race. Despite the level of fierceness displayed on the large flat screen before me, I found myself losing interest fairly quickly. I began surfing the internet on my phone and logged onto YouTube…

When Marinette Dupain-Cheng was younger, she used to dress up and pretended to be a character from a fairy tale. Now, her sentiment of that fantasy as a small child had changed rapidly right at this moment. The girl who stared back at her was not someone she wanted to be.
