AM I A HE OR A SHE? – WE SHOULD EXPECT ALL THE MEDIA CLICHES

I never consider myself to have been a "he". That's just what is on my passport and I pray for the day that I can change that. But, in the UK once the cliche's had got out there, there was a real interest from people who have never been confronted with transsexuality and I was really fortunate to get such a lot of support.

A lot of transgendered people in the UK were against me when the court case was going on but when they say how There's Something About Miriam in fact "normalized" what we are and invited people in, they felt more comfortable.
