In this article, we explore the usefulness of adapting McAdams’s (2008b) life story narrative method in conducting research with transgender participants in a previous study. We utilize one participant’s story to demonstrate our ability to understand the contextual supports he pulled upon in order to positively impact his gender transition. Through this method, not only were we able to better understand the participant’s experiences and perspectives, but we were also able to communicate our commitment to seeing him as a whole, complex, and unique individual. We encourage other researchers to use this method in the future
