Here are the stories and experiences of two transgender people and how they persevered through hard times to find happiness.
Avery's Story
He said he chose his new name, Avery, because it was gender neutral, and the fact that it meant "adviser to elves" in French was perfect. It fits his quirky, outgoing personality.
Avery Dame, a graduate student from Tuscaloosa, Ala., is a transman. He was born into a woman's body, but he is trying to pass as a man. Growing up, he didn't understand why he was different. He said he never felt he was born into the wrong body when he was a child. However, he knew something was wrong, and his mother constantly told him.
