+======Paige's Story======
+* https://www.npr.org/2015/02/06/384104070/paiges-story
+;Description
+:Audio (with text transcription) about a [[bigender]] person named Paige Abendroth who "flips" between being male and female.
+;Author
+:Alix Spiegel
+;Extract
+:ABENDROTH: Like my biggest worry is that I'm never going to really fit in to, like, female spaces or male spaces. I'm afraid that I'm going to be living the rest of my life in some kind of weird gender twilight zone.
+:SPIEGEL: And what will you do then?
+:ABENDROTH: I don't know. I'll keep on doing my best.
+;Notes
+:Some ableist/invalidating bits, e.g. some researchers that Spiegel talked to are reported as saying "These people are just psychotic." However a different researcher does clarify that nonbinary identities, like Paige's, are not mental illness.
+:Some discussion of dysphoria, e.g. Paige says, "Imagine you woke up and your body was a cockroach. It was really unsettling." and there is a mention of Paige vomiting from severe dysphoria.
