Trans teen hits the screen with unconventional coming-of-age story he hopes will inspire, educate


Levi Nahirney, 19, has long straddled several identities growing up on Vancouver's North Shore — being Canadian, Vietnamese, an adopted child and a twin. That journey has now been documented in a film, Levi: Becoming Himself, set to air on CBC Gem on July 16. Levi Nahirney and his twin sister, Kailyn, were adopted from Vietnam when they were seven months old. The story touches on more than Nahirney's physical and emotional transformation, but also the impact it had on his twin sister, Kailyn. In the film, Kailyn addresses the difficulties of watching her twin, previously identical, change physically.
