As a young child in North Carolina, Jacob Tobia wasn't the wrong gender, they were told they could only have the masculine half. Acting feminine labeled them "a sissy" and brought social isolation.
It took Jacob years to discover that being "a sissy" isn't something to be ashamed of. It's a source of pride.
