After graduating from high school, Kimberly Reed couldn't wait to leave her  hometown of Helena, Montana.

"Like most young people I had this wanderlust and I needed bigger worlds to live in," she told SDNN. "I could find different solutions that didn't exist in Helena."

At the time, Kimberly was known as Paul McKerrow, the star quarterback of his high school football team. He received an M.A. in film from San Francisco State and was looking forward to a promising career as an editor. But the woman inside him could no longer be suppressed. Paul transitioned genders and became Kim.
