First and foremost my name is Demetrius and I am a woman. Most of my life It has been assumed that I am male. I was born in 1970. Living in NY when I transitioned from Jr. High School to High School I went to an all girl school. It took school officials three day to find my paperwork because it was sent to the all boy school.
