After coming out as a lesbian six years ago, Morgan Hennessy Shea has come out a second
time as a trans male this year (2020). How did he get to his truest form of self-realization?
Meditation. Through an arbitrary enrollment in a mindful communication class, Morgan
experienced a crucial understanding of who he is by coming face to face with the present
and the repressed thoughts that have clouded his mind, including getting in trouble
in kindergarten for wearing boy underwear, not wanting to go swimming, and dating
lesbians but still being jealous of boys.
