Being transgender, or transsexual, isn’t easy. Few people truly understand what it means to be transgender. When someone is born as one sex, but inside they feel like the opposite, they are known as transsexual or transgender. For instance, someone is born a man with male sexual organs, but he feels like he was meant to be a woman, or vice versa. They go through their whole lives struggling to understand why they feel wrong. This is why many go through gender reassignment surgery. While the surgery can be painful and expensive, it gives them the chance to finally feel like they are the person they are truly meant to be.
