Philip(a)

Title: Philip(a)

TW: transphobia, and there’s some cute wholesome fluff at the end ;)

Word Count: 1643

Chapter: 1

Summary: Philip is trans, Alexander isn’t too happy.

“Dad? Are you busy?” Philip sighed into his father’s office. Alex, stressing out, replied back to his son. “Yes, Philip?” Philipa could see her father’s roots turning grey. Clearly from stress, she’s never seen a man work harder. She wasn’t quite sure how her dad would react to his son actually being his daughter.

“I have something important to say.” Alex nodded, “sure, i’m not too busy right now,” Alex turned in his chair. “whats goin’ on in that mind of yours?” Alex didn’t know that his wife, Eliza was patiently waiting for them both outside the door.

Eliza knew that Philipa is transgender, and she loves her daughter all the same. Eliza however, wasn’t too sure of how Alex reacts to this stuff, as he is a man of traditions, and she’s pretty positive the term ‘transgender’ isn’t too good in his vocabulary.

“Dad, i’m..” Philipa sighed, looking down. “i’m a girl.” Alex raised an eyebrow. “What are you telling me Philip?” Eliza could basically hear Philipa’s heart crack in half. Eliza whispered to herself, ‘c’mon alex, don’t do what i think you’re about to do.’

“Its just that.. my mind and body don’t match! To make it simple.” Philipa sounded so overjoyed to be coming out to her dad. Alex on the other hand? not so joyous. “You want me to call you a name that you just.. picked? Me and your mother gave you your name for a reason. You are named after your grandfather. Philip Schuyler,” Alex took a sip of his water. “Is this some prank? Are you and your mother up to something?” He sounded legitimately concerned. Not because his daughter just came out as trans, but because he thought it was a joke.

“Alexander. Do you know how much you just hurt her? Please, support her.” Eliza spouted out at her husband. By this time, Philipa left the room. Well, she stood outside the door, eavesdropping on her mom and dad. Her heart broke as she heard what her parents were saying.

“What about him Eliza? I raised a SON. Not a daughter. I need my son to carry on my legacy and so far he’s been doing just FINE—“ Alex dragged on.

“Alexander,” Her voice was stern, strong. “Your daughter is JUST as strong as anyone else. Please, Alex. Just try to understand her. I know.. I know it’s new to you. It was new to me too—“ Eliza felt hot tears welling in her eyes.

“Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, I raised a SON. For the past 18 years, I’ve wanted to teach him things i was never taught as a kid.” Eliza stopped him. “And you can still do that! We can give her the same life we’ve been giving her! It won’t be.. too different!” Alex had a stiff look on his face. “No. We can’t, and we fucking won’t. Because I won’t have that in our home.”

Philipa, still outside of the door, was sitting down, her legs in her chest. She let out small sobs, trying not to alarm her parents. She speedily and shakily walked to her bedroom, and packed some clothes she would need.

(Theo- child / Theodosia- wife)

She knew where to go. Theo’s home. The Burr house was always accepting, considering Mr. Aaron accepting Theo as pansexual. She dragged her bag full of clothes along the street, seeing the Burr residence in the distance.

Sooner than she thought, she knocked on the door. “Anyone home?..” Philipa heard Mrs. Burr call out “Aaron, hon can you get the door?” Seconds later, Philipa was looking at a very confused Aaron. Theo was right on the side of him, grabbing onto his arm.

Aaron had noticed how frigid it was outside, so he immediately let the girl in. “Philip, what’re you doing out so late? Its freezing outside! Get in here!” Philipa shivered as she walked in the door, she probably should’ve worn a coat.

Aaron saw Philipa shivering, her teeth chattering. “Do you want a blanket?” Philipa nodded, seeing Theo concerned, still attached to her father. “When i get back, you’re telling me why you’re out here with a bag.” Burr stated.

Philipa placed her bag down by the couch she was sitting on, then cuddled up against the arm of the seat. Theo stayed behind while Burr walked off to get a blanket, so Theo sat next to her.

“Hello Philip. Why were you out so late? Aren’t your parents worried about you?” Theo asked her. Philipa shook her head, “They hadn’t known that i headed out. Its a.. long story.” Theo nodded. “I’ve got time.” Philipa and Theo have been childhood friends, considering that the two kids were born around the same time with their parents as friends, they’re bound to be at least acquaintances.

“Listen, Theo, you’re pansexual right?” The girl nodded. “Yes i am, why’re you asking? Something up?” Philipa nodded.

“You know of the term transgender then, don’t you?” Philipa’s hands were shaky.

“I do, is this about you being trans? I figured you were for a while. I was going to ask you about it tomorrow, but it seems that doesn’t have to happen?” Theo looked over to the kitchen, where her mother seemed to be eavesdropping on the two.

“Is there something else that you’d rather be called instead of Philip?” Theo questioned. Philipa nodded, “Yes, if you don’t mind. I’d like to go by Philipa now, if that’s alright.” Theo nodded.

“Of course, Philipa. If you’re happy—“ Theo had gotten cut off because Burr walked in with a thick blanket and 3 cups of tea. “Why don’t we all have a chat, hm?” Burr asked.

“So, Philipa? Is it? Why did you have to leave your house at,” he checked his watch. “11pm? Did Alex tell you something? You are his child! and if he did anything to you i’ll bea—“ Philipa stopped him.

“Please, Mr. Burr that won’t be necessary. He.. he’s probably just confused.. is all. I was listening to my parents talk and.. my father said he wouldn’t have ‘that’ in his home, so i presumed he wanted me gone. I won’t be able to go back there for a while, unless my mother can persuade him otherwise. Would you be as kind as to allow me to stay here until this blows over?” Philipa curled under the blanket and sipped on her tea, while she watched Burr’s face change from concerned to angry.

“Of course you can stay here dear! Do you have enough clothes for however long you plan on staying?” Theodosia asked. Philipa was already feeling better, Theo’s home was a nice place to be when she was stressed or needed a place to stay.

“I think i do, i just packed what i think i’ll need.”

Theo immediately got a smug look on her face. “Theo? what are you thinking?”

She lead Philipa up to her bedroom, Theo opening the door, introducing Philipa to tens of possibly hundreds of nightgowns and dresses Hercules Mulligan has made for her in the past. “These are my old dresses that the Mulligans made for me. They don’t.. fit me anymore. Maybe you’d like to try a few?”

Philipa turned a bright red, then nodded. Theo stepped out of the room, allowing Philipa to try on whatever she’d like.

What caught Philipa’s eyes first was this beautiful powder blue dress with a white section going down the chest. A gorgeous navy blue was sectioned off at the bottom of the dress. It had a faintly feathered out collar, along with long sleeves. Philipa took the dress off of the hanger, and slipped it on. She turned around to find a body-length mirror starring at her. She finally felt.. like herself. She picked up the sides of the dress, and dropped them back.

She let her hair out of the tight ponytail it was in, and let it drape around her face, covering her ears. “Theo? Come in please!” Theo walked in, gasping at the sight in front of her. Her best friend, was standing in front of her in her first dress from her very first Winter’s Ball.

“Does.. Do i look bad?” Philipa was worried, but then again.. not so worried. She felt okay. “Of course not. You look like you’re ready for a ball— and also ready to steal everyone’s man.”

They both broke out into laughter, it was the closest Philipa and Theo have been in a long time.

“Actually, i’m ready to steal everybody’s man. and woman.” Philipa sighed out. Theo raised her eyebrows. “Really now?” Burr and Theodosia watched as the two girls chuckled and made jokes.

Burr and Theodosia walked back downstairs. “Should i go and tell Alexander and Eliza that.. Philipa is here?” Theodosia asked. Burr shook his head, it was already getting late. If Alexander really wanted his daughter gone— he could wait. Eliza was probably worried sick though. The couple headed to bed, telling the two girls that it was getting quite late.

“Alright you two, it’s time for bed. Goodnight Theo, Philipa.” They both waved and said goodnight. Theo gave Philipa one of her old nightgowns, then they went to bed. Theo has 2 beds in her room, so they each got a bed to themselves.

Philipa felt secure and happy. For now.

The FCC sided with Comcast and decided to let ISPs censor the internet. The Internet needs to stop this from happening: http://cms.fightforthefuture.org/tellfcc/

Last Wednesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced a proposal for new rules that would allow for a “ fast lane” of Internet traffic for content providers who are willing (and able) to pay a fee. [1] The proposal reverses the FCC’s previous commitment to net neutrality and open internet and allows ISP’s like Comcast or Verizon to slow down and censor services that don’t pay the toll.

We have to be totally honest, this situation is seriously grim. But there is still hope. The FCC already knows that the Internet community wants net neutrality, but they think they can put their spin on these new rules and sneak them through. If we can prove them wrong right now with a massive public outcry, we can literally save the Internet once again.

We need to stop the FCC now. Big business groups are already ramping up lobbying efforts with the FCC in swarms since Wednesday’s announcement in support of censoring the open Internet and to ensure this dangerous proposal moves forward. [2]

This is a critical moment. In the last few weeks more than 65,000 people have taken action with us. Can you help us get to 80,000 by the end of the day today?
