Overcoming Childhood Abuse, Kidnapping & SA as a Trans Man
Vittorio "Wyatt" Gray's journey is one of surviving the unimaginable—kidnapping, rape, childhood abuse, and homelessness—while discovering his identity as a transgender man. He opens up about the emotional weight of growing up in an abusive family that struggled to accept him, the mental health toll of constant rejection, and the isolation of navigating gender identity in a world that often misunderstands. As he built a new life in the entertainment industry, Wyatt found strength in community, resilience through storytelling, and healing in embracing his truth. His voice now serves as a powerful advocate for LGBTQ+ individuals who face similar battles, reminding us of the deep need for compassion, support, and visibility.

If you’re searching for truth, connection, and hope—you belong here.
