Regardless of one's gender beliefs this story is about Braeden's, one of Vanderbilt's national champion bowler athlete's, journey to realize "she" is a "they." It is an in depth report of the realization of a bisexual's true identity and the response of the rest of us. This story gives insight into the very long, hard journey a transgender makes and how being in a supporting environment is affirming and comforting. I am sure this story will evoke a wide variety of responses, and mine is that I learned a great deal about the perplexing realization that one can be different than most of us expect - it is not easy but when others are understanding it makes the journey easier.

Great for Braeden. I'm sure its tough sledding figuring these types of things out as a young person. I'm glad the university provided support and enabled Braeden to become who they feel they are on the inside. I can't imagine feeling trapped in a body that doesn't match my brain.
