JULIA Ford seems to live a pretty unremarkable life.

From her bungalow in Botesdale she shops in Diss, goes out with her female friends, and collects records as a hobby.

But after she was attacked on her own doorstep less than a year ago she was left physically and mentally scarred, and is now too worried to indulge another pastime - photographing wildlife in woods.

But where an attack would have cowed many of us, and despite facing more medical treatment next year, Miss Ford is determined to speak up for those in the same position she was – young people who are coming to terms with feeling trapped in the wrong gender but without the support they need.

I went to school in Norfolk.

We should try to be tolerant and understanding, but there were so many people, especially younger people, who were so agressive and violent.

Hopefully this woman will recover her composure and stop being so frightened.
