Meet Ezra

Ezra (they/them) is a 20-year-old nonbinary person who has been socially transitioning since the age of 13. Throughout their life, they have faced financial and medical insecurity, as well as unsupportive parents who dismiss their identity as a “phase.” Growing up in Florida, Ezra has also been affected by increasingly strict regulations that limit access to transgender health care, leaving them unable to take the medical steps they know are necessary to feel comfortable in their body.

Despite these challenges, Ezra is pursuing their dream of becoming an astrophysicist and hopes to one day teach as a physics professor. They are passionate about encouraging others to study STEM while ensuring that LGBTQ+ individuals feel represented and welcomed in the field.

For Ezra, access to gender-affirming care means a chance to feel more at ease in their body, embracing their femininity while being perceived in a way that reflects their true self.
