Trans teen longs for true pride

Joseph Gonzalez-Ruiz learned in tenth grade that someone born biologically female could transition into a man. Once he came out publicly, he was excited to meet other trans youth at the San Francisco Gay Pride parade. But he didn't feel the camaraderie he hoped for. "I didn’t see many transgender people on the stages and floats. Sure, I saw drag queens, but drag queens aren’t trans people. And the all of the nudity and alcohol make young people like me feel uncomfortable... Representation matters." A young trans man's search for true "pride," on Youth Radio.
