BORN: FREDERICK, OK
I was born in Frederick, OK, but I was mostly raised in Wisconsin. Then Christmas 2010 I came out as female to male transgender and that’s when I’d really say I was born, when I was able to live my life as me. Yeah, I came out as James. I then moved from Wisconsin to live with some family in Texas. And then I moved to Seattle. In Seattle I became a part of the trans community and really became a self-advocate for who I am.
I kind of look back, hindsight 20/20 kind of thing, I was always into the more masculine things. Growing up I had cars, and I got in trouble running around shirtless. I was told, “you should put a shirt on, girls wear shirts.” You know, stuff like that.
It’ll be five years this Christmas. And I’m happy.
