Beck Rosato Lewis always knew that something wasn't quite right growing up, that her feelings were different. She was a tomboy who was attracted to girls, while other girls she played with only liked boys.
Even after coming out as a butch lesbian, that identity seemed to be missing something. Eventually the light bulb went off, and Beck realized that she was born in the wrong body. Less than two years ago, she began transitioning into a male identity.
Beck spoke with San Diego Gay & Lesbian News about the remarkable journey from tomboy to butch lesbian to trans man, how life has changed, how his YouTube channel is documenting his transitioning process, and how he wants to promote understanding of transgender issues.
