Lewis Wallace, female-assigned at birth, wanted to transition in the direction of maleness—in some ways. He shifted his pronouns, had surgery, starting taking testosterone. None of that meant he wanted to embrace everything that our culture associates with “masculinity.” Story written and reported by Lewis Wallace, with co-hosts John Biewen and Celeste Headlee. 

Music by Alex Weston, Evgueni and Sacha Galperine, and Kevin 
MacLeod. Music and production help from Joe Augustine at Narrative Music.
