IN September 1998, David Buechner, then 39, a prominent classical pianist, came out as a transgender woman, explaining that from then on, she would live and perform as Sara Davis Buechner. The pianist had been accustomed to rave reviews (at 24, David, in his New York City concert debut, was called "an extraordinary young artist" by a New York Times critic). But the debut as Sara, reported in a Times magazine article, was not so well received, even by loved ones.
