**Synopsis**

Tony Andrews knew from a very young age that they were born perceived as a boy, but were actually a girl inside. Trouble is, no one would believe Tony, including a period of time when Tony themselves did not want to believe that fact. From childhood onward, Tony tried as best as they could to become a girl, but was always discouraged and prevented from doing so by family, friends, schoolmates, adults in a position of authority, and society in general. So for a time Tony played the masquerade game of supposedly convincing himself that he was a 100% male. However, by the time Tony was a teenager in junior high school, they had enough of discouragement, defeat, and the baseless, pointless pretending that they were somehow a "real boy". Tony came to realize that they themselves, and nobody else, were the only one who would be able to acknowledge that they were actually a girl inside a boy's body, and to transition to their correct Gender Identity of female. Other friends of Tony, teens and adults alike, would offer friendship and help to Tony, however, the real battle for Tony's correct gender authentication would be inside Tony's mind, heart, and spirit. This internal battle regarding Tony would seemingly have to be done completely alone, with nobody to help, nobody to care, *NOBODY !!!* This is the fantastic story of Tony Andrews transition to Annie Andrews in the face of impossible odds, addressing seemingly certain self harm, conquering discouragement and debasement, trying to tame the elusive human heart and spirit, and society's punishment of people who dare to transition to their correct gender and dare to live openly and publicly as such.

**Disclosures**

Disclosures by the Creator and Manga Artist of Wildflowers, AnnaKrog---

Hello potential readers. This page is dedicated as a trigger warning. I need to make it absolutely clear that Wildflowers deals with some very hard topics. These include [the adult topics of] suicide, assault, [physical abuse], and intense self hatred. If you, or someone you know, would be triggered by reading these things, please don't read this web comic or pass it on to others. Your life, and the lives of those around you, are worth so much more than any .... webcomic on the Internet. I really do mean it, every word. Wildflowers doesn't hold back anything in the experiences of the main character [Annie/Tony Andrews], and those in the world around her. Many of these experiences are based off of my own life, and the lives of trans\*people I have known or lost.

"It can be hard, but, choose life"---AnnaKrog

As an addition, I would like to point out that yes, my art is somewhat horrible to begin with. There was a point where I essentially [disliked daily] drawing (I still kinda do). However, even with the pages I have posted, you can see a massively, marked improvement. It gets better and better as I practice. So if you stick with it, I promise, the art stops [being frightfully childlike].

Disclosures by the Editor of this Wiki version of Wildflowers---

This Wiki version of Wildflowers will have the various story arcs be abridged and reconfigured by the Editor so that nothing is more than PG-13. However, as AnneKrog has stated above, this male to female transgender themed story will deal with some very adult topics. SUCH TRANSGENDER RELATED TOPICS MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN OR OTHERS. ***READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED***. This warning will also be posted at the beginning of controversial or painfully distressing story arcs. Comments about this Wildflowers story chronicled on this Wiki can be posted in the Discussion section of this Library Wiki.

The sex and gender designations for Wildflowers will be as follows---

When the Main Character is presenting as their perceived birth sex of male (i.e. Tony Andrews), male designations will be used. At the point in the story arcs where the Main Character does a "Coming Out' to themselves or to others as an authentic female, and/or begins consistently presenting to others as a female, dressed consistently as a female (i.e. Annie Andrews), female designations will be used from that point forward in the story arcs, and thereafter.

Due to the sensitive and controversial nature of the subject matter of this transgender themed story, *Please, no outside editing or reworking of the story texts or story arcs is wanted or needed.* The Canadian Author of Wildflowers is a male to female transgender adult IRL. The Editor of this Wildflowers Wiki is a male to female transgender/bigender adult IRL. It is best for transgender people to tell their own stories, and not have others purport to speak for them, or to speculate or post questionable material about them.
