"Should I deny my head, my heart, and my soul?" - Transgender Commentary in the Media

ThriveIn the New York Times Magazine today I found a surprisingly sympathetic story about a transmale college student struggling to find his place on campus and in life. Alissa Quart, author of Branded: The Buying and Selling of Teenagers, and Hothouse Kids: The Dilemma of the Gifted Child, follows Rey, a female-to-male transgender youth as he struggles to fit in at his all-female college.

At first I was puzzled why someone identifying as male would choose all-female Smith University. The article explains
