Over a year ago, McPeck (known as Erin then) came out to his family as a transgender individual and began thinking about gender reassignment. This is McPeck's fifth week of hormone replacement therapy, where he receives injections of testosterone. To document his progress and answer questions, McPeck broadcasts his transformation on YouTube every week, addressing a new topic surrounding gender, politics and society. He starts the videos with an update on the changes in his body and mindset, the most recent being his deepening voice, increased thoughts of sex and reduction of breast tissue.
"I'm coming into who I am more and that's going to be a theme throughout these videos and, frankly, all of my life," McPeck said in his video blog.
