In Focus: Free To Be Me

Their relationship has blossomed to the point where they now plan on being married as husband and wife. In Focus: Free To Be Me sheds light on many misconceptions and myths surrounding a transgender life. It provides information that broadens awareness and highlights support services offered to transgender individuals and their families.
