Ari Eldridge finds comfort in being a transgender student, but believes that too few students are knowledgeable about what transgender is.

"The definition of transgender has different meanings to people in the LGBT (lesbian gay, bisexual and transgender) community, but it means a person who does not identify one's gender with one's birth sex," said Eldridge, whose male birth name no longer works for her.

Eldridge said she is assimilating at SJSU, and is enjoying her first year of college, which includes being a secretary for the transgender support group she is involved with at SJSU.
