For as long as they can remember, Cyrus Grace Dunham felt like a visitor in their own body. Their life was a series of imitations, lovable little girl, daughter, sister, young gay woman until their profound sense of alienation became intolerable. This is the story of their search for a new name. Rather than looking back on gender transition from a settled distance, Cyrus invites listeners into the process as it unfolds.
