Phoenix Trans Male Courtney Penniman

Courtney Penniman is an Arizona transgender male identifying as a male since February 2012. This gender transition is a result of a long history of experiencing a persistent and authentic difference between his assigned sex and his understanding of his own gender. This gender incongruency is called gender dysphoria, which is estimated to affect at least 1% of the population. Since his transition from female to male, he has become more accepting of his gender.
