Some people are born in the wrong body, lacking the parts they feel define them. The struggle to become who you were meant to be can be a long, challenging road.
Michael Dean, age 20, a second year MWCC student, knows this struggle all too well. Dean is trapped in a body that has never felt quite right and forced to live in secrecy, because his family would never accept their daughter as a man. Dean is not allowed to live fully out in the open as the gender he feels he was born to be.
