Paul McKerrow was an all-American boy. Raised in Helena, Montana, he was the quarterback for his high-school football team, which is as close to being idolised as many small-town Americans come.

He was also his class president, the ­valedictorian of his year in 1985 and voted most likely to succeed by his classmates. He was tall and ruggedly good-looking. McKerrow, in short, had it made and great things were expected of him.

So it was with some trepidation that McKerrow recently attended his 20-year high-school reunion as Kimberly Reed, a lesbian, New York-based film-maker who had had gender reassignment to become a woman.

''I was this perfect guy in some ways, but I was just trying to overcompensate to be successful at this male thing... I thought it would fix me. I thought it would make this other crazy idea go away.... A lot of times, I wanted to be one of the girls more than to really have a girlfriend..."
