Transcending Self

GOD PUT ME IN THE WRONG BODY.

I know I'm a boy because I felt it in my heart. Inside I’m a boy. I like blue, I like cars and Batman and soccer and I just know I’m like other boys. I wasn’t happy with long hair. Now I’m happy.

Transcending Self

is a life-affirming storytelling project consisting of narrative stories— portraits and interviews— with transgender and non-binary youth ages 3-20 and their families.

You may find wisdom and courage, you might find heartbreak and love. You may learn something about yourself or your family and friends.

You will find truth and love.

The young have so much to teach us if we only listen.
