Jane* is not unlike any other young woman at Laurier. She loves her program, stresses about getting things done on time, spends a lot of her time with her friends, has a younger sister back home whom she adores and volunteers on campus.

However, one aspect of the second-year music student's identity has unfortunately made her an easy target for alienation and abuse.

Jane is a trans woman, meaning that although she was born with a male body, she always knew that who she was on the inside didn't quite line up.
