Outside camp, Ruby worries about how other people perceive her, according to her mom, Kate, whose name has also been changed. "'When I first came here, I thought that I was a disgusting, mutilated pig and an alien, and nobody would ever love me because I'm trans,'" Jacob recalls the camper saying. "'Half the time, I forget that I'm trans,'" Jacob remembers him writing. "After the camp, I really haven't been talking about how I feel insecure that I'm trans," Ruby says.
