Call Her Jessica

QuoteShe's a remarkable 22-year-old – whip-smart, brave and funny. She jokes about her low voice: "I'm in good company. Lauren Bacall had a raspy voice too.''


I'll admit it. When I knocked on Jessica's door for the first time to meet her I was nervous. Her story is important. Transgender Americans are on the forefront of the next great civil rights debate in our country. But I was stepping into unknown territory or, as they say in the pop psychology books, leaving my comfort zone. That can be a little unsettling.

So, hey, more stories are out about me, the subject of this article with more to come; getting out my name, little by little, article by article, news story by news story... :)

At least 3 more articles and a featured documentary about me are due out soon.
