He entered Ontario's psychiatric system nearly 34 years ago as Vance Egglestone, whose criminal history involved choking and raping women in bars.

Today he is known as Shauna Taylor and aspires to a feminine life in a maximum-security wing of the Penetanguishene Mental Health Centre.

He wears makeup and women's clothing, but isn't much for orchids.

Taylor, 53, wants to undergo a procedure known as a double orchidectomy, the surgical removal of both testicles, to complete his transition to womanhood.

Given Taylor's history of deceit, the board found in 2007 she can't be trusted to be honest about her alleged condition.

Kind of telling.  Particularly if she can get out if the procedure is done.
