My earliest recollection was from when I was about three. I remember wanting to be a girl. I was a small, desperately lost little soul. When I was 12, I started stealing my mother's menopause hormones. Just a couple of hours of my voice being lighter made me joyous."


At school she was bullied, and life was such hell that it crossed her mind to try to perform a sex-change operation on herself.


"In those days I was suicidally confused. I knew I wasn't gay. I knew I wasn't a freak, but because there was so little information around, I didn't know what I was. In 1998 I went to a psychologist. This is where I learnt about my true condition, and began the rocky road to transition."
