MARYVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- After the introduction of several controversial bills, Tennessee is getting a lot of national attention for its tolerance level for the LGBT community.

One part of that, the transgender community, is all around us, yet most of us know very little about.

"You'd be surprised at how many of us there are all over Maryville. And there's exponentially more in Knoxville," said Carla Lewis. "You'll see a transsexual person everyday, you just won't know it."
