Army Veteran Found Support To Live Authentically After Service

Elijah hid his true self while serving in the Army and Air Force for fear of facing repercussions.

Talk therapy and gender-affirming care helped Elijah address his anxiety, depression, and gender dysphoria. Now he encourages others to seek the support they need.
