TRANSGENDER
STORY 1

optimist with a tendency toward pessimism; and lawn mower (but only when necessary). ____ is also a transgender man. He started his
medical and social transition to male about ten years ago at the age of twenty-one. He figured out he should have been a boy at age six, so he figures he lived about fifteen years in the wrong gender. ____ thinks that transgender people are often misunderstood. When discussing transgender issues (or anything else, for that matter), ____ thinks that any honest, thoughtful question is probably a good one. When he is not working on various civil rights issues, ____ is usually found walking his dog, bird watching with his partner of ten years, or playing a friendly game of Scrabble. ____ lives in Olympia.
