“After a while, I realized that I was not alone in this matter. There were many among us who had experienced similar problems in other prisons.

“A lot of people in the community really advocate for people being out, owning who they are, and spreading awareness. If I was out all the time, I would feel more dysphoric than if I'm just able to live my life as a guy and not have to worry.

You've got to live it the way you want.”
