More than 200 floats will be included in this year’s Mardi Gras, which is expected to be one of the biggest yet, but the selection isΒ being questioned. Josh Adams reports.

β€œI look at the body I have, which is a male body, and I want a female body”, Alexis Greenwood, a young woman transitioning from male to female, told ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ Weekly. Greenwood is speaking up about the barriers she faces because she wants more people to ask questions. She wants more people to be less ignorant about being transgender. Greenwood said she β€œalways knew something was wrong”. At 16 years old, while performing a monologue in her drama class about a transitioned person, she thought: β€œThis feels right, this is me”.
