ASHEVILLE – At age 8, Holly Boswell decided she had magic powers.

Her mother had given Holly a Peter Pan book, and she fixated on the character of Tinkerbell. Holly was then a little boy, but she had been questioning her gender identity since age 2 or 3, she said. "I was thinking to myself, What am I — a fairy?"

Only much later did she find another word for herself: Transgendered.
