MY HEALTH EXPERIENCE/SARA-JANE CROMWELL: Sara-Jane was diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder

FOR THE first time in my life, I feel completely at home with myself physically. I'm 49 but I was only diagnosed with gender identity disorder (GID) in 2003. It's a clinical condition but even trying to get a diagnosis was absolutely horrendous.

I went online and saw words such as "transgender" and "transsexual". It wasn't long before I was going into seedy places on the internet. But I knew that what I read wasn't representative of me or of most of the people I know with the condition.
