As Jack Chapman walked into his old school for the first time since he'd left 20 years earlier, former pupils and teachers glanced over and then away again, not recognising him.
It's to be expected at a reunion but Jack had changed more than most – when he'd been there as a teenager in the 80s he was a girl called Julie.
"We all had to collect name badges when we went in and of course mine said Julie on it," he says. "People kept looking at me and asking each other who I was. Then someone came up to me and said: 'Sorry, I think you're in the wrong place'.
