"We always knew that Isaac was different," his mother said. "He didn't speak to me about his transgender decision until he was 12, but I knew when he was as young as 2. He would tell me in his own way (he once asked her to buy him a penis) and he rejected femininity in every way. So we always knew he was different, but not in a bad way and we didn't believe his choice was wrong."

With the support of his family, Isaac decided to become an activist as a transgender teen, spreading awareness and sharing his story. In addition to the full support of his parents, Isaac also has the support of his classmates in school and that of the school itself.
