In 2007 – at the age of 22 – upon graduating college in Philadelphia, I moved to Jersey City, N.J., to begin my career as an artist. While learning the ropes of a new city and trying desperately to find a job in New York City, I slowly discovered how LGBT friendly Jersey City was. I grabbed a job as a bartender and quickly made many new friends. These friends introduced me to a center called Hudson Pride, which brought me on as a volunteer graphic designer and treated me as a part of their family.
One night the center was showing a documentary one of the youth [members] had put together, so I stayed to watch. It blew me away. For 22 years I identified as a lesbian. Though I always felt somewhat different, I never explored the world of trans because before then I never had the resources, nor had I known anyone who was transgender. Everything this kid said in the documentary all made sense – everything I'd been feeling. I remember leaving there with a grin on my face, butterflies, I wanted to scream out to the world!
His tumblr is good, lots of info and resources.
