''Are you a man or a woman?''

Lee Taube was walking through a park with his girlfriend Michaela Rodgers when four teenage boys demanded to know who and what they were.

Mr Taube, 20, was only just starting his transition to being male, after a long unhappy girlhood. He was living in a refuge while doing VCE when he was diagnosed with gender identity disorder.

''I was looking pretty androgynous, because I was pre-testosterone and pre-chest-binding. I didn't want to give them an answer when I was pre-everything. So I just said 'I'm a person'.''
