A transgender's life in transition

Anne Faith Beon was born practically with axle grease on her hands -- pumping gas as a child, working on car engines and driving hot rods in the beachfront blue collar community where she was raised.

Beon wasn't a tom boy. She was a boy, born with male anatomy and high doses of testosterone coursing through her body.

Beon is a woman now, not because of a name change or the clothes she wears, but because of biology. California transgender medicine specialist Dr. Maddie Deutsch called it "a mixture of genetics and physiology" on a recent broadcast of Anderson Cooper's program, "AC360," on CNN.
