A high school boy falls in love with the bearded girl at his school, fighting for her honor despite the fact she doesn’t need much help. From Teresa Milbrodt’s Bearded Women: Stories, this tale is one in a “phenomenal collection” (Asimov’s Science Fiction) of short fiction about the so-called “freaks” trying negotiate a world that is quicker to stare than sympathize.
