Tough times for Transgender Tennesseans

[Hazumu]

James is a man birthed into a woman's body. He and his trans-brother Levi Vincent,19, are a part of a small but growing group of teens who have realized early in their lives that they are transgendered.

Soon, they plan to begin the process of transitioning from female to male and have already begun hiding their breasts with a tight spandex 'binder.'

James hopes to soon begin testosterone therapy so his voice will drop and hurdles in the check-out line will come less often, he said.
