BU TODAY/09.21.2015 By Joel Brown
"Ray arrived on the BU campus two years ago as a freshman from Texas who identified as female and lesbian. A sociology class that October changed everything.
"Some theorist had talked about how everything we think about in society is a social construct," Ray (a pseudonym) says. "We were talking about that in direct relation to gender, and there was a moment when I felt, in my brain, like something fell apart. I could feel the fabric of my reality crumbling. It was scariest thing I'd ever felt. I was like, 'Maybe I'm not a female.' That thought had never crossed my mind before. It was really shocking to me as an 18-year-old. What am I supposed to do with this information?""
