Storytelling: Inside out: Transgender stories: Transgender in Oregon

Michelle Storm undergoes her first round of electrolysis, meeting with electrologist Alice Berry on March 17, 2016 to remove hair in preparation for Storm's genital confirmation surgery. Storm, an Army veteran, is on the Oregon Health Plan which covers the surgery but the needed infrastructure to help clients such as Storm actually receive the genital reassignment surgery is not yet in place.
