COREY MAISON, A 14-YEAR-OLD TRANSGENGER, SEND A POWERFUL MESSAGE

Corey Maison said she always knew in her heart that she was a female.

The 14-year-old transgender teen describes herself as unique, outgoing, funny and has dreams of one day becoming a supermodel. But for now, Corey's main focus is sharing her story of how she's overcome bullying, in the hopes of supporting others who face the same obstacle.

"We're not a threat," Corey wrote to ABC News. "We are just like any other kids. We only want people to accept and love us for who we are."

Corey was born with the same name, but was assigned male sex at birth.

Her mother, Erica Maison of New Baltimore, Michigan, said that Corey has been identifying as a female since she was 2 years old.

"The first time I took her to buy feminine clothes she was 10 years old," Maison told ABC News of her daughter. "She chose a neon pink and gray shirt and neon pink jeans. I think she wore them for three days straight before I made her change into something else so I could wash them."

Maison said that Corey was bullied for being transgender when she was younger. The first incident was when a child pushed her down a hill covered in frozen ice, causing injuries to Corey's face. Eventually, Corey was moved to another school as a result of the bullying, Maison said.

"Her school now is wonderful," Maison said. "The staff and students are very accepting. She's treated just like any of the other girls. She's allowed to use the girls' bathroom and locker room, and play on the girls' sports team and cheer team if she wants to."
