Publisher's Synopsis
Gina Large, a real life transsexual, relates her traumatic and very reluctant transgender journey of self-discovery, as it really happened, from May 2001, giving a powerful insight into the suffering of gender dysphoria and the inevitable gender identity crisis. In her previous life, Gina was outwardly successful, but inwardly, unknown to the World, a very unhappy soul, existing in a permanent and severe anxiety state (medical symptoms). Incredibly, it wasn't until shortly after her 54th birthday, that Gina suddenly realised what had been wrong all her life. She believes the widespread prejudice, ridicule, blind ignorance and hostility which still persists against transsexuals is rooted in a basic lack of understanding. Gina spoke at the 2002 Gendys International Conference and the Police Diversity Training National Conference, and recently appeared, with partner Joan, on the BBC's Kilroy Programme. She is now training to carry out further work with police forces in the UK, helping officers to gain more understanding of diversity in society.
