Rosalind Ryan talks to Vivienne Snowdon, who plans to have an operation to become a woman in October

Snowdon says: ‘To me, it felt like putting myself back in touch with a part of me that had been neglected’

“I have always associated myself with being female, and identified much more with girls when I was growing up. When I was little, I heard the alternative name my mother would have given me had I been born a girl and I thought ‘Yes, that’s who I should’ve been’,” says Vivienne Snowdon.
