The story of a transgender man at the turn of the twentieth century in Australia - featuring running away to sea, a viscous rape at the discovery of his biological sex, an abandoned child, a new identity, marriage, murder and the most high-profile court trial of the decade - would make a riveting plot for a novel, but this is all part of the real life of Eugenia Falleni.
Sydney barrister Mark Tedeschi author of a book (published this month in the UK by Simon & Schuster) about the life and trial of Falleni speaks to Gay Star News about how he got interested in the story, the twists and turns of Falleni's unusual life and what researching it has taught him about transgender issues today.

They really need to improve their proofreading. I have no idea what a "viscous" rape would be, and don't want to think about it.
The word is "vicious".
