Independent.co.uk – Interview by Charlotte Philby
I was unhappy from the start of puberty. My sister was developing one way, and I another. This was the point when our fundamental differences became apparent, and it was quite distressing. I’d never talked to anyone about wanting to be a girl. I was terribly embarrassed. The only representation in the media was laughable images of men wearing dresses, which I couldn’t relate to. I did want to look pretty like my sister, but it was more about interacting with society as a girl, being accepted as such.
