Editor’s note: This story is one in an occasional series about transgendered youth.
For a highschooler who was born female but felt, dressed and acted like a boy, it didn’t feel right to use a girl’s bathroom.
The teen, who recently graduated from high school and lives in the Seacoast area, asked that his name not be used to protect his privacy.
He said he knew from the age of 5 that he was a boy born in a girl’s body. Playing on girls’ sports teams and using the girls’ locker room just felt wrong, he said. But schools didn’t offer co-ed teams or let him try out for boys’ teams.
