Morgan McCormick always felt something was out of place, even when she was a child in kindergarten. She liked the idea of being a girl better than a boy even then, but also knew it was wrong and would inconvenience other people, so she pushed her feelings down.

McCormick is a transgender, a person whose gender identity does not match his or her birth sex. Born as a boy, she had an instinct telling her she should have been a girl.
