The Guardian/by Shalailah Medhora  April 3 2015

"'From lewd comments shouted from passing cars to the deliberate chivalry of holding doors open, McGregor's transition to womanhood has made the most senior transgender military officer in the world see social transactions from a new point of view"

"But in 2012 after nearly 40 years in the armed forces, Catherine, then living as Malcolm, decided to commence gender reassignment."

"Living as a man had caused her excruciating pain and made her feel like an "out-of-tune orchestra"".

"She is now at a stage in her transition where it is not obvious that she was born biologically male".
