AJ's Triple Coming Out Journey: Bisexual, Trans Man, and Non-Binary
Honestly, I think, even if I were a binary trans man in the end and decided to medically transition, despite the hurtful things that they said to me, they would have eventually come around, because they love me and you know it might have taken double the time, but I know in my heart that no amount of queerness would have stopped their love, just like my mother said.
Imagine the courage it takes to come out once. Now, multiply that by three. In this episode of 'Hart to Harts', AJ opens up about their unique journey of coming out three different times: first as bisexual, then as a trans man, and finally as non-binary.
