She says had a pretty average childhood growing up in Holden. But when her male body started to develop, she realized it was a body she didn't feel right in.
"I'd say middle school probably," Folsom said. "When you start to realize there's a difference, an actual difference not just a social one, between girls and boys. But even then I didn't know what it was, I just didn't feel right. It was kind of like a persistent feeling of just wrongness, and I didn't have any words for it, I didn't know what was going on."
