For Michelle Ann Duff, it wasn't a choice. Sex-change surgery was a decision between an early grave or a new life as a woman.

"I had two choices: number one was to make a gender change, and number two was to jump in front of a subway car," said Duff, 69.

The Ontario woman faced a much bigger leap of lifestyles than for the relatively few Canadians who undergo the life-altering switch every year.
