"Pretoria - A transgender woman has told of her trauma at being mistreated by Department of Home Affairs officials in Centurion, who allegedly prevented her from applying for a gender change in her ID book on Wednesday.

Armed with the necessary medical reports, Juanita van Zyl, 36, went to the Centurion branch an hour before it opened on Wednesday. She wanted to apply to have her gender changed on her identity document."
