"I used to dress up in my mother's clothes every chance I got," recalls Michael D. Silverman, executive director of Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund (TLDEF). "Her makeup bag was my favorite toy. I'd wear my mom's stockings or play with her high heel shoes. I loved it."

Silverman, the lawyer who runs TLDEF—a non-profit law office dedicated to achieving equal rights for transgender people—isn't trans-identified himself; but, like many other gays and lesbians, Silverman shares a gender bending personal history with his trans clients.
