There was also a good profile of him on 60 Minutes (or maybe CBS Sunday Morning) a few months ago.

This was really nice. The part about the grandmother and the tattoo made me tear up a little.

This is really nicely done. And wow, what composure for someone who's so young.

It seems like the Olympics seems to have put together a series of these pieces about trans athletes, which is great, to kind of get some of these kind of warm profiles out there and lay some groundwork for the public.
