This story is no longer available because it violated GLAAD’s reference guide on covering the transgender community. We now believe that the way this story was reported could be harmful to the transgender community. RadioActive Youth Media is committed to learning and growing as a journalistic organization, and for this reason we have chosen to remove this story from our website.

If you have questions or feedback about this, please contact us at radioactive@kuow.org.
