My fascination with the transgender lifestyle began long before I fully understood what being transgender really meant.
As a child, rather than play swords with the other boys, I would hide away in my room and fashion cocktail dresses out of my bed sheets.
I knew asking my parents to take me shopping in the "little miss" section wouldn't go over very well, but in my head I could create gowns that would rival those that Christy Turlington would wear on the catwalk.
As I got older, I began to understand that, though I enjoyed playing in my make-believe designer duds, there was a community out there that didn't just want to dress in drag, they wanted to change their gender.
