In the late 1960s, Millie C. Bloodworth was a city boy from Detroit who didn’t like guns, the Army, snakes on field trips, or the looming prospect of getting shipped off to Vietnam.
What he really wanted was a sex-change operation and a wardrobe of pretty dresses.
Bloodworth, who describes her offbeat, coming-of-age tale in her 2008 book, The Exceptional, Impossible Woman Indeed! will chat about her life and society’s evolving view of transsexuals during a free, city-sponsored event on Friday, February 19.
