I Am Here

By Alex M. Liuzzi

For ten years, Joey has lived the life of a boy. Letting the world know she is a girl will not be an easy journey, and one that requires some navigational skills. This story is her map. Following her through fourth and fifth grade, we travel main streets, scenic routes, and side streets that lead to various treasures and unseen dangers. Along the way, Joey shares the landmarks that shape the experience of one transgender youth. Through Joey, we meet many individuals with their own obstacles. Some obvious, some hidden, some we will never understand. But with each life she touches, we come to see a practical and shared truth to the challenge of attempting to express your real self. The journey is not easy. The map is not perfect. But perhaps, within this map, you can see that you are here as well.
