Description
This is an interview with a rural transgendered person, still in a male’s body. He is in his fifties and is a native of the northern half of the state. He speaks of an early denial, both to himself and others, of his desire to wear makeup and dress the part of a woman. Reaching self-acceptance and striving for community tolerance, he has had to abandon relations with a Fundamentalist church and not “rub” his identity in the face of certain family members.
