Six months later, Trina and Sam host a small gathering in Trina’s apartment. The archive’s digitized love letters are now an online exhibit, and Sam’s favorite is framed on the wall. Trina has started a blog for trans healthcare workers to share stories.

Trina grins—a real one, not her customer-service smile. “My favorite combination.”
