"I think I really, really realized that I was a man after prom last year," said Ralph*, a high school student who is a trans man, living with the misfortune of being born into the body of a girl. A self described 'dapper gent', he sat across from me dressed in a black collared-shirt with a red tie. "I think I knew in March," he continued. "But I kept trying to be feminine to see if I was just going through a phase. So I threw myself into getting the perfect dress, and I felt beautiful. But it was like I was a stranger in drag. It wasn't me. There was this ridiculous disconnect, and I just felt wrong."
