People.com editor, Janet Mock, was born a boy

 Charles and Janet Mock

The lady you see above, Janet Mock, is the 28 year old editor of People.com. She's pretty, curvy, has a master's degree from New York University and lives in NYC with her boyfriend. Only thing is, Janet was born male. She lived as Charles for the first 18 years of her life, until she took a trip to Bangkok where she risked her life and put her future in the hands of a Thai surgeon who completed her gender reassignment surgery.

Janet recently opened up to Marie Claire about her transition and the obstacles she faced as both a child and adult. http://janetmock.com/2011/05/17/janet-mock-comes-out-transsexual-marie-claire/
