Singer-songwriter and SF State freshman Ryan Cassata imparts lessons of self-acceptance to transgender community

When Ryan Otto Cassata stands up with his guitar at Dolores Park Café, he seems like a normal 18-year-old. But there is something different about him.

Cassata always felt a little different than everyone else, but didn't notice what this feeling meant until he met a transgender for the first time.

Cassata, born a girl, didn't feel like a girl. He felt like a boy.

This summer, Cassata moved from New York to San Francisco to study at SF State. He is a motivational speaker, singer-songwriter, activist and first-time freshman.
