In this brief first‑person story, Tom Krieglstein recounts how, after meeting two teenage girls who were forming an all‑girls band, he persuaded them to let him join by playfully adopting the feminine nickname “Thomasina.” He mentions his longer hair and male identity, then uses humor and the nickname to suggest the band could still be “all‑girls” in spirit. The girls laugh, accept his proposal, and he gains a foothold in the group, illustrating a quick rapport‑building moment through self‑deprecating humor and gender‑bending playfulness.

Chapters

Excellent. Now at the time something you should know about me is I actually had longer hair and they were talking about this band and they started saying, you know, we should start a band. I was like, that's a great idea. And I said, can I be in your band? And they go, oh no, no, no, it's only an all girls band. And now again at the time I had this longer hair. I am a male. And I was like, you know what, my name is Tom, but if you call me Thomasina, can I join your band and we'll just pretend that it's an all girl band. They joked about this in calling me Thomasina. I joked with them and they agreed and now I was in their band and I was like, excellent. I have now gotten a foothold in the door of rapport with these two teenage girls who are.
