TWO YEARS after the Leighton Buzzard Observer broke the story about a transsexual mechanic in Leighton who had been shunned by her customers for revealing 'he' was actually a 'she', Teraina Hird has now become a published author telling of her ordeal in order to help others overcome prejudice.

has just published a 226 page book called 'Unashamedly Me - the story of a transsexual woman's struggle to become herself' which tells her story in a frank and sometimes amusing way, but be prepared for sadness along the way as she reveals all.

Teraina tells how as a child she realised she had been born in a man's body and then goes on to described her tormented teenage years not really knowing what was wrong and questioning whether she was just gay?
