"It's been a year since Juneau resident Jennifer Fletcher started to publicly present herself as a woman, less than two years since she first started to shed her male identity and rebuild herself as female. But the inner journey to get to that point began long before then.
Jennifer Fletcher used to spend up to five hours a day escaping reality. She'd play games on the computer, visit websites for the transgender community, "Pretty much anything I could do to not focus on the present, not focus on how things actually were so I could actually at least attempt to function throughout the rest of the day," she says."
