The little boy was about 8 years old, playing with friends, when he turned to an adult and asked, "When can I be her?"

"They said, 'Sweetheart, you are a boy. You need to be a boy.' (I just felt like), 'No. I want to be (like her).'

" ... It's really hard to be a girl in a boy's body."

That little boy grew up. And - though not quite as simply as this sentence makes it seem - found that he was able to become what he dreamed. Erika Falls is finally, as she says, herself.

What a lovely story.
