Tonight, when Justin Cascio of Northampton watches himself on screen in a documentary titled "Transparent," he expects to be shocked by the image he'll see.

"I was a fat smoker," said Cascio, 36, who no longer smokes and isn't fat.

The segment, which was filmed close to eight years ago, recalls a complicated passage in his life. Cascio is a transsexual male who, before he transitioned from female to male, gave birth to a son, now 17.
