Rachelle says Tgirls aren't freaks

MEET Rachelle, 50, a transsexual who wants Rockhampton to know she's not a "freak".

She is just trying to be "who she really is".

But recently since making the tough decision to become a woman, Rachelle has been threatened, called names and "gone through living hell".

She doesn't like to be called a transsexual however, she prefers the modern term of a Tgirl or TG.

Rachelle contacted The Morning Bulletin this week to make a stand about how she chooses to live her life.

Ok, If they want they may label me a freak. I have been called much worse.
