As a 5-year-old girl, Cory Frederick - then named Michelle Mays - dreamt of being a biological boy. In the dream, Frederick felt happier with a male body.
"I always had the sense that something wasn't right," said Frederick, who graduated from Ohio University last year with a degree in plant biology and geology. "I always felt like I was in the wrong body."
Frederick is a transgender person, which is someone who challenges traditional definitions of male and female gender orientation, according to the OU Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender website.
