Storytelling: Inside out: Transgender stories: OHSU's transgender health program

"I am a visual artist and cartoonist," writes Madisyn Artemesia DelPorto, 28, in an email. "Much of my work draws heavily from my experiences as a trans woman. I have a comic called Tragic Hotline Worker (tragichotlineworker.tumblr.com) which is all about my tumultuous (but also joyous) experience of transitioning, and coming out while working a job at a crisis line."
