Ayden Prehara, talks with his parents, Todd and Chris, in his bedroom in Fitchburg, Wis., on Jan. 3, 2014. Prehara, 16, is a transgender student, having transitioned from female to male at age 14. This June, Ayden and his parents will travel to Cleveland for what, in the transgender community, is called "top surgery." His breasts will be flattened and his chest contoured to be more typically male. He will be 17 by then, about the earliest surgeons will do such surgery. Until then, he wears an undergarment called a binder that evens out his chest. The family is setting aside about $10,000 for the surgery, which includes a week or so in a Cleveland hotel during recovery, said Chris Prehara. Insurance does not cover any of it, she said.
