Transsexual speaks at local church
Before Matt Kailey was a man, he was a woman with a different name. After making the choice to become a man, he needed to choose a man's name. So, out of respect for his departed parents, he opened the baby book that they made for him and looked through the list of names they chose back in 1955. If he had been born a boy, he would have been "Matt." With a connection to his parents' wishes, he finally became the man he had always believed himself to be.
Matt Kailey autographs his book for PUU member Gail Barr.
