Miles was born in the wrong body. He was born Megan and after 15 years of serious depression and confusion about his place in the world, at age 28, he decided to do something about it. He chose the name Miles and began his slow and difficult transition into manhood. He brought an audio recorder with him. This is his story.

Amazing.Megan's documentation of her transition to Miles is filled with emotion and power, but without melodrama or anything artificial or contrived that gets in the way of the story. Probably one of the best things I've ever heard. |
