How does it feel when your mom prays everyday for you to be someone else? Thatâs the struggle Johanna, a 16 year old transgender Latina faces. At first her mom thinks sheâs confused, or joking, but as Johannaâs transformation continues, her mom simply canât handle the fact that her son is Becoming Johanna. After prayer doesnât change anything, Johannaâs mom tries therapists and a mental hospital in her quest to âfixâ her daughters gender identity. While she was born a boy, Johanna is a young woman on the inside and nothing but living a lie can change that.
