For Janis Walworth, the inspiration to run the Center for Gender Sanity came from an experience with a transsexual friend more than 40 years ago.

Her friend, who Walworth said struggled with her gender identity, was found dead unexpectedly in her 20s. While the causes of her friend's death remains unclear, Walworth said she felt as though she let her down. She said she could have been more supportive of her friend and more familiar with transgender issues.

From that moment on, Walworth said, she vowed to help as many people struggling with their identity as she could.
