StoryCorps Atlanta: Adam Kaylor On The Beauty Of ‘Not Fitting In’

One of Adam Kaylor’s earliest memories is asking his mother, when he was five years old, when he was going to become a boy.

Adam was born female, but would continue to question his gender throughout his childhood and adolescence.

In the StoryCorps booth, Adam told his friend Benjamin Carr about his trouble fitting in as a child — and what happened next.
