Transgender surgeries are becoming more popular, especially among teens.

While some people's first reaction may be shock and concern, the fact is the teen years may be the best time to do this, both medically and emotionally, as one local teen learned.

"I saw a picture of myself on the first day of school with two other girls and I looked at it and I thought this is not me," said Southern California teenager Mason Pierce, whose birth name is Meghan. "I would cry about it every day. It was hard. It didn't feel right."
