So for those who maybe somehow don't know, I'm a female-to-male transgender person and have been on the "out" spectrum since I was about sixteen. I'm pretty open about my status, and my last two years at college I told my story and answered questions for a couple different Coming Out panels for students and parents alike. I enjoyed doing it, and I think it's a useful thing to do--for my listeners maybe, but for me, too--and I thought I'd share my story again with you guys, since a lot of you haven't known me very long and maybe would find it interesting.

Every time I do this, I also think about what Zachary Quinto said when he came out a year ago--in short, my identity isn't really anybody's business to know, but if my being out as a cool LGBTQ person helps someone else out there, some kid who's scared and alone, feel okay about themselves, then of course I'm going to tell my story to help them. So here's my adventure through sexual and gender identity via the wonderful world of the internet.
