Nutini looks and sounds like a man, has legally changed his name to Joe, and identifies as male, but the 25-year-old graduate student was born female. Now "transitioning," from female to male, Nutini's government documents still list him as the sex he was at birth. He's hoping to change that following scheduled surgery in May.

Legal identification for transgender people will be among the highlighted issues during the first-ever local Transgender Awareness Week, which begins today.
