Drew, 22, is stuck living at home, desperate to escape the world where people constantly ask, 'Is that a boy or a girl?'
Lewis, 22, is raising money for a double mastectomy and is investigating a phalloplasty (penis construction) - surgeries that he feels will make him fully male.

Donna, 25, is content living between genders but finds it difficult to navigate relationships.
And Sarah, 28, has recently begun to live full-time as a woman and is building up the courage to tell her parents.
