Long Answer
1. Melissa’s mom returns the magazines, which demonstrates some acceptance of her daughter. Still, she leaves them in Melissa’s room rather than returning them in person and tells Melissa she supports her completely, which shows she might not offer absolute acceptance. (Chapters 10-11)
2. The entire zoo trip empowers Melissa by giving her a chance to be her true self in public. Using the girls’ restroom like other girls, and sitting to go to the bathroom, gives her the chance to function in all aspects of the day like the girl she is; keeping this as a private victory by not even talking about it with Kelly offers her even more power. Also, she has always hated the boys’ bathroom, as revealed earlier in the novel. Using the girls’ bathroom feels safe. (Chapter 12)
