"Dan Barnum, a 16-year-old sophomore at Oscar Smith High, has struggled with his sexual identity his whole life. As a child he was Abby – a girl who preferred playing with trains and Hot Wheels cars and hated wearing dresses.

It was shortly before freshman year that Barnum began doing research online and came to a realization: I am transgender. The teen walked into Oscar Smith on the first day of school and announced that his name was Dan."
