Rachel and Kimberley Rae say they owe their lives to Dr Trudy Kennedy and the gender dysphoria clinic she headed. Theirs is an unlikely love story. Born male, they both longed to be female, knowing from the age of five they weren’t like other little boys. In adulthood, the decision to “stop living a lie” brought them together.
They met in 2002, a week after Rachel had surgery to transform her from Bob — previously a carpenter, welder and security guard from central Victoria — to a woman who found peace but lost her family.
