Imagine living a life as someone else, someone you do not feel comfortable with. Christina Hollis, author of the book "Beyond Belief: The Discovery of My Existence," gave a presentation to UW-Platteville students, staff and faculty on April 14 about her fight to be someone she wasn't. The Patricia A. Doyle Women's Center sponsored the event.

Born in 1946, Hollis spent most of her life repressing certain feelings she had about her gender.

"I knew I was supposed to be a boy but as I got older, I started a life of repression," Hollis said. "I had thoughts of wanting to be feminine but I replaced those feelings with being someone else - being a guy."
