Call me Stephen! Meet the high school coach who just came out as transgender

Stephen Alexander is amazing. Born into the wrong body Stephen grew up in a small Conservative Rhode Island town denying his true gender. It wasn't just scary he told Out Sports the prospect of telling his family terrified him.

So he moved to New York city and spent some time learning about himself without constraints and came home one day and declared he wanted his family to call him Stephen. A truly wonderful story of fulfillment and acceptance.
