Being transgendered is still considered to be wildly taboo. Blaine Sexton is a junior at Letcher County Central High School. Living as a person of the transgender community is a struggle at times. High School is a breeding ground for cruelty and hatred. Being different puts you at a predisposition to be the recipient of this. Being trans is a marker. That shouldn't be. Being trans male just means you're female in a males body, but still a normal guy. Blaine Sexton allows us see what his life is like.
