What's It Like to be Transgender or Gender Fluid?

Transgender is becoming more understood in our culture.  Or at least, it's more recognized.  But that's the problem, it isn't understood.  I spoke with Erica Burns, a transgender female and Robert Lee, a gender-neutral person.  That was a new one for me. 

Erica's story is one you've heard before: She always knew she was born into the wrong body.  About 9 months ago, at 23, she took action ... and hormones. 

Robert goes by "he" because he was born into a male body, and he is comfortable with it.  But it doesn't stop there.  He is not a hermaphrodite.  He calls himself "gender fluid."
