Alex graduates at Western Kentucky University. He's the first in his family to ever receive a college degree. Nobody from his family came to celebrate it. "Today's a really difficult day. It really hurts that my family haven't been there for me. I'm through, but this could have been such a different school year, instead I had to go through all of this alone and without any support from my family," Alex said. According to a survey from the National Center for Transgender Equality 57 % out of 6450 people asked had been cut off from their families.
