A Family Transgender Affair - by norrie mAy-welby - "I visited Melbourne earlier this year, and decided to pop in on my aunt and cousins while I was there. I hadnt seen them in over twenty years, since I was a little boy ( and yes, whatever my gender is now, I was a little boy then. I checked this often enough with the little boy who lived next door. But, I digress..). I rang them and introduced my self as Norrie, Marions child.. You knew me as Bruce. On my way to visit them, I realised that they had no idea what to expect of me gender wise. I was dressed in bright multi-coloured androgynous fashion, as was my wont, devoid of gender signifiers. They may have been homophobic for all I knew. Oh well, they can take me as they find me, I thought...."

But in spite of this good news, it was a day of mixed emotions for me. You see, when my daughter, Geraldine, went into the operating room a few hours earlier, she had been Gerald, my son."
