"Imagine, for a moment, living in a body that is not your own," the junior biology major said. "When you try to live in a way that makes you feel comfortable, they say you're wrong, confused, a freak. Transitioning is not for the faint of heart."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
