When I was a little kid, I was a huge fan of 'The Kids in the Hall.' They were like my boy band. I was obsessed with sketch comedy.

It was a big part of my growing up.

Trans kids are living in the future in a way. When I was growing up, "transgender" wasn't even a word. It wasn't used.

It's still a little hard to imagine what it might look like growing older as a trans man, but I think that's going to change for the next generation. For trans kids growing up, that visual bridge towards their future selves is starting to develop in conjunction with this trans media wave we're in.
