http://www.jsonline.com/features/health/the-true-me-a-quest-for-acceptance-181767551.htmlIt was decades before Bill Jutz admitted the truth to his therapist and to himself. By then he was in his late 50s, a man whose wispy white hair and sad gray eyes made him look older. He had never married. He had no children. He had one cat: Bond, like the secret agent.
[...]
"When I'm wearing obvious men's clothing - and I haven't in a while," Jutz says, "I feel like I'm cross-dressing."
That's because of this other person inside him. He calls her Corrine. He believes she is the real Bill Jutz.
For years he tried to silence her. Now, at the age of 62, he wonders where she came from.
