The Story Behind the Site

"Sopranos and altos were the women, tenors and basses were the men. There was no distinction, no blurred line. The problem was, I existed as that blurred line. I existed in the in between. It was in the seventh grade that the word “transgender” was added to my vocabulary, and I realized that this identity described me."
