For some people the sex they are born with doesn't correspond to the way they feel.

Researchers now know there are areas of the brain that differ among men and women and those who are transgender, and new psychiatric guidelines in the upcoming DSM V, due out in May 2013, are expected to acknowledge that.

We hear the moving stories of Craig Andrews and Julie Peters and how their transition to the opposite sex has improved their mental wellbeing.
