Written Statement of Shannon Price Minter
http://nctequality.org/Resources/TestimonyofShannonPriceMinterFINAL.pdf6/26/2008
"I was born female and transitioned from female to male at the age of thirty-five, about
twelve years ago. Growing up as a transgender young person in rural East Texas, I never would have dreamed of having this opportunity to address our nation's legislators. I am keenly aware, as I am sure my fellow witnesses are as well, that we speak to you on behalf of your transgender constituents across the country, whether it be others living in rural Texas, suburban New Jersey, or metropolitan Minneapolis"
