All the 'shes' and 'hers' make this article almost unreadable. Look at the following extract:
"Ziz, who grew up in Alaska as the oldest of three siblings, was home-schooled for some of her childhood. As a preteen boy, Ziz grew depressed. She saw puberty as “evil,” she later wrote on her blog, Sinceriously, and was horrified at the idea that she would be “killed-overwritten” by a new self.
She began to feel “like the world was a hypothetical,” she wrote. A key epiphany was realizing that even if she couldn’t fix her own problems, she could make things better for others. “One of the happiest thoughts I’ve ever had,” she wrote."
Sex based pronouns are so much clearer (especially when you see the photo of Ziz).
