Do you ever feel like who you are on the outside doesn’t match who you are on the inside? Ryver Evans, a 16-year-old transgender teen from Nashville, North Carolina, tells us her story of coming out to her parents and peers in the deeply conservative and religious south. You'll hear from her father, Anthony Evans, about his experience with his daughter’s transition. We also explore gender dysphoria with Rae Sweet, the education coordinator with It Gets Better, a national nonprofit which aims to empower LGBTQ+ youth.
