CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Paige Dula has no regrets about her transition from man to woman even though it hasn't always been easy.

"For my whole life I lived for other people and tried to be a person who I wasn't, she said, "When you let go of that it's kind of scary because you are familiar with that role that you play and it's kind of tough to break out of that and make the leap into discovering who you really are."

But now, Dula isn't alone. Time Out Youth, a Charlotte youth organization says teens and young adults are exploring the possibility of a sex change more than ever before.
