Physically, Tamsin is male. In her head, she is a woman. She tells Helen Harvey her story.

Of the three women in the room, Tamsin is the only one sitting in a ladylike pose, knees together on an angle, feet together. Tall and slim, she is wearing ironed blue jeans, high-heeled black boots and a simple white top. Her tastefully applied make-up is finished off with a dash of lip gloss.

She sits forward on the couch, pushing her hands together as if praying, then clasping them. Over and over.
