LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY (Fox 41) -- A southern Indiana family's lives will be on stage this weekend at the Kentucky Center.

Fox 41's Candyce  follows the transition of a woman who says she was trapped in a man's body.  And the journey that healed the O'Bannon family and put their story on stage.

"My brothers would tell me that I would say, I can't wait until I grow up and I'm a girl." Miyia O'Bannon says, from a very early age, she felt like a female trapped in a male body.  She attempted suicide as a teenager, and that was a wake-up call for a family that didn't want to accept what was happening with second son Aaron.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
