"People talk about the pain -- but it's a part of you, part of what makes you a person."

April Ashley's story is one of the most glamorous, heartbreaking, and trailblazing in trans history. Born a boy in England, she knew she was different, that she was in the wrong body, since the age of four.

Bullying at home and school, suicide attempts, and a mental institution later, April moved to Paris and started dressing as a woman. She worked at the prestigious nightclub Le Carrousel de Paris, where she met many beautiful Hollywood starlets that she'd dream of being.

Poor form for the blogger to call the Queen of England a "reptilian satanist."  That makes the community no friends.
