So, I had a sex change
Hostility, ridicule and financial ruin are some of the difficulties faced by Britain's 6,000 transsexuals. But against the odds some do achieve personal and professional success

Kate Craig-Wood, 33, runs Memset, a web and IT hosting provider that is one of Britain's fastest growing IT companies. Last year Management Today voted her one of the 35 most important businesswomen under 35. Kate changed sex in 2005. Before then she was Robert, and had been married for five years. Kate lives in Guildford with her boyfriend of two years.

I grew up knowing something was terribly wrong with me but the only transsexual people I had seen looked like blokes in dresses and I thought that my only option was to grin and bear it, or risk life as an outcast. I was a quiet, reserved and unhappy teenager. I thought I was a freak, my obsession with my gender the constant soundtrack in my head.
