Blaine Paxton Hall Shares His Thoughts About the Complex Task of Finding Home

Description

Blaine Paxton Hall conveys his experience of “finding home” as, not only settling into Fearrington Village in March of 2010, but also as coming of age in a children’s home in Woodstock, Illinois and of feeling at home within his body and in American society. The rigors and emotional challenges of growing up in a children’s home hardly prepared him for the travails and triumphs that accompanied his medical, surgical and legal, gender transition completed in 1983 -at age 31 - the first such transition in North Carolina! As he recognized, his “keen intuition into the suffering of others,” helped him succeed in becoming highly accomplished in the medical profession.
