The story follows Sergeant Major Edward Long, now Jennifer Long, in her path as a soldier, having served for 30 years, and a transgender.
It opens with Edward Long, in eastern Afghansitan and a tough situation he was in as he was under attack.
In the first few paragraphs, because the story is talking about Edward Long’s history in the war, before he was fully transitioned, the writer referred to Jennier as “he.”
Then the writer switches to “she” and makes note of this to the reader that he is switching pronouns.
After the writer introduces Jennifer, he goes onto her past as Jennifer struggled with identity issues while serving the military.
The story ends with a list of what Jennifer has done for the LGBT community and what she continues to do.
The narrative does become a full circle because it opens up with Edward and ends with Jennifer being a strong activist.
