Meet Max

"A lot of people who are trans experience body dysmorphia," says Max, from across a table in one of Wellington's finest bagel establishments. "I don't personally feel that. Perhaps that has a lot to do with both my politics and the fact that I have been able to access transitional therapies easily."

"For me, being trans is an identity, not an illness. I definitely see myself as genderqueer as opposed to a traditional transsexual. That said, I'm having surgery to remove my breasts."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
