Newspaper Reporter Goes Deep for Series on Transgender Teen

Casey Parks is banking high praise for her intimate examination of a complex issue

Part 1 of The Oregonian’s “About a Boy,” which ran in print in Sunday’s paper, telescopes back to Jay at age 13, then still a girl. Part 2, online now and in print Wednesday, catches up with him at age 15. And in the final Part 3, scheduled for next Sunday’s editions, readers will learn about his current life at age 17.

The series is the byproduct of some very extensive work by LGBT and race issues reporter Casey Parks.
