Anna is male to female transgender (she/her), a lesbian and 54 years old. She has a strong interest in science, and holds Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology and Anthropology, as well as a Master’s degree in Natural Resource Management. As a child, Anna attended a Presbyterian church, but today she considers herself to be more spiritual than religious. In today’s episode, Anna remembers what it felt like to cross-dress at age 12, and the wholeness she felt when she stepped into her authentic identity as a girl. She also describes for me the anxiety and depression that followed cross-dressing sessions, when she had to put her clothes away in an air duct to hide her truth from the world.
