Chloe Anderson is a transgender woman who is also an opposite and outside hitter in volleyball.[1] She is the first transgender athlete in Santa Ana College since its start.[2] Anderson began her transition from male to female at the age of 19 after years of feeling like she was assigned the wrong gender.[3] Before her transition, she had always felt like she didn't belong with the boys, she felt like she belonged with the girls.[2]
