my story aired on "60 Minutes," activists were pressing for the episode to be censored or cancelled.The story I wanted to tell was my own: In my early 20s, I became depressed and gender dysphoric after years of obsessing over identity issues.
Finally, I thought I saw my route forward: the total transformation of medical transition, to live as a man.I had the most supportive possible environment for transitioning: easy access to hormones, an affirming community and insurance coverage.
What I didn't have was a therapist who could help me scrutinize the underlying issues I had before I undertook serious medical decisions.
