It can be hard being different. It can be especially hard being different when there are no resources to help you.

Maxx Flaa, a 2010 graduate of Albert Lea High School, knows this first hand. Maxx is transgender, meaning he was born biologically female but identifies himself as a male. He legally changed his name from Maddie to Maxxwell last August, but didn't come out as transgender until after high school.

"Since I could walk and talk I asserted myself as male," Maxx said.
