AOL's 'True Trans' Series Explores Coming Out And Transition As A Trans Person

What Is It Like To Come Out As A Trans Person And Then Transition?

Episodes four and five of AOL's compelling series "True Trans" takes an intimate look at the individual stories of several individuals who came out as a trans and then transitioned. Each person's experience is unique to their own life journey, and Laura Jane Grace sits down with a number of transgender and gender-variant people in these episodes to give them the chance to tell their stories.

“I said to my parents that I really needed to get help," transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox shares in the above episode. "And I told my father, I was like ‘I want to transition.’ He said, ‘OK, son, we’re going to get you the help you need.’ And a couple of months later I ended up in a gay reversion therapist’s office. They took me in there and they were trying to turn me gay to straight -- when I wasn’t gay in the first place.”
