Tyunique Nelson was struggling with parts of her life. Through her struggles she found some peace with Alex, a new person she met at school:
“I got bullied in school because of some other incidents that had been with another student, and I was really depressed for a long time. I started to become suicidal and then I met my partner for 2 years now and everything became better,” says Tyunique.
Eventually, Alex came out to Tyunique as transgender, but that didn’t make a difference to Tyunique.
