LinkAccording to Liedigk, transgender people live all or substantial portions of their lives expressing a sense of gender other than their birth sex. Many undergo expensive medical treatments, such as surgeries and hormone replacement therapies, to change their physical sex so that it is in harmony with their gender identity.
"I'm as much a female as another female, and there is no difference," Liedigk said in a husky but still feminine voice. "Transgender people feel like women, but they look like men. They've always known they were a different sex early as they grow up."
