5 Transgender Americans on the Hardships of Transitioning, Then and Now

http://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/a38971/transgender-men-and-women-on-transitioning/

Esquire/By Richard Dorment   10/19/2015

"Transgender men and women have lived openly for decades in America. Most of them transitioned before it was remotely acceptable to the wider culture—and so made possible the social transformation in gender identity that we are seeing today. The three women and two men on these pages lived much of their lives as one sex and then, along with thousands of others, have lived long, accomplished (and dangerous) lives as another. They are a comment on the abiding nature of the human impulse to change sexual identity (at a moment when it's almost regarded as a fad) and also emblematic of those who did so when it was so much harder."
