I was working at the gay and lesbian centre and every day a lovely, but timid, woman would come in for a tea before going on her way.When she got used to me we started chatting and it turned out that she was originally from the UK. After telling her family that she wanted the sex change she was completely ostracised, and so came to France.To me this was sad, but equally as terrible was the impact that holding that kind of thing inside for so many years had had on her. She talked openly (in broken English, because she had forgotten it, or broken French, because she had struggled to spend time with people to learn it properly) about how the various events of her life had resulted in her becoming so introverted and suspicious.Like you, I was heartened by her courage, but at the same time incredibly angry that as a society we allowed her to become so marginalised.Good post, dude. Thanks for bringing this back to me.
