Jay Ladin was a beloved husband, doting father and respected English teacher in New York, but one who was tortured by the knowledge he was living a lie.

Now known to the world as Joy, a woman in her early fifties, the remarkable story of how this Jewish university professor suppressed her feminine instincts for so long is to be published next week in a new memoir.

A celebrated figure of the transgender community, Ms Ladin's journey has been arduously long and fraught with torment, secrecy and guilt.
