Bar Harbor-area sports reporter raises local eyebrows and finds welcoming arms

My gender identity demands a space where the flamboyant and the athletic meet—I am an androgynous trans/genderqueer sports reporter for the Mt. Desert Islander in Bar Harbor, Maine, with a sports beat that sends me onto high school sidelines, into national marathons, and inside the coverage of international championships. I am the only 'out' transgender sports reporter at a weekly newspaper in the United States that I know of.
