Extraordinary stories from 'ordinary' people
HUMMING IN MY UNIVERSE By Jim Paredes (The Philippine Star) Updated December 19, 2010 12:00 AM

On the day of the photo shoot, I met this rather good-looking young lady in her very early 20's accompanied by her doting gay brother. I remember watching her hand mannerisms and being so charmed at how womanly she moved them.

We began the session. Soon, she was posing in different stages of undress and before long, she was totally nude. As a photographer, I went for really elegant angles, which I would occasionally show her brother who was quite delighted with them. They were talking throughout the session. Around 15 minutes into the shoot, it dawned on me from snippets of the verbal exchange going on that my very womanly subject was, in fact, not what I thought she was. She had undergone a sex change. She was a transgender.
