Tiffany Miles Oral History

Tiffany Miles describes growing up in conservative, religious small-town Alabama, where she lived for the first thirty-two years of her life. She discusses her complicated relationships with family, the slow process of coming out to herself, and her deep love of science fiction,particularly Star Trek. After coming out as trans, she moved to New York City, where she has continued her transition, navigated unemployment and the shelter system as a trans woman, and began to meet other trans people.
