In my early days my father caught me many times dressing up in girls clothing and that was subsequently beaten out of me. It was a pretty average male life, pushed into playing AFL from the age of six. Dad wanted me to stay away from anything female but mum let it slide.

By the time I reached high school my mother had died of cancer. I had a feeling she knew about me wanting to be a female when she died.

Dad was under a lot of stress and the divide between us grew. I didn't want to play sport and got into acting and music. I was performing in the Rocky Horror musical at school, and dad wasn't happy at all.

We had quite a few punch-ups; he didn't want me to go down that path. It was about then I started getting into heavy metal music.
