Calpernia Addams, "America's Transsexual Sweetheart," said she is now comfortable being imperfect, even though some people had told her she would look hideous as a woman.

More than 100 people attended Addams' event "Trans 101 with America's Transsexual Sweetheart, Calpernia Addams" in the SJSU University Room at noon on Wednesday.
