She toured with Elton John and Bob Dylan. Now Cindy Bullens is telling the world she has decided to be Cidny, a man—and is grappling with all that entails.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/06/16/singer-cindy-bullens-goes-public-she-s-becoming-cidny-a-man.htmlI've sung on stages for thousands of people, been nominated for Grammy awards, and given birth to two beautiful daughters, one of whom I tragically lost. But now, after months and indeed years of thought, consideration, and soul-searching, I have come to a very significant landmark in my life.
Over the years, I have contemplated many times if and how I would talk publicly about the fact that I have always thought of myself as "a man in a woman's body" and that I have never identified fully—or honestly, at all—with being a female. It's never been a secret, and for many, it may have seemed evident, but I have also never forced the topic on anyone. Now I feel I must claim my reality: I am "coming out" and acknowledging myself publicly as transgender.
