Hi! I'm Joanne
After more than
ten years my brother came back into my
life at a time that I really needed him.
Many things in his life had changed. More
than his appearance or the fact that he
now had a wife and young family. He seemed
to have direction but more than anything
he seemed at peace and comfortable with
himself. My brother has come a long way in
his journey, he not only knows who he is,
he is also proud to be that
person.

Hi! I'm Ursula
When my partner Kris told me he wanted to
transition from female to male, of course
I had a few concerns. My first instinct
was that I didn’t want anything to
change. I was so happy with our
relationship as it was. Would his
transitioning alter what was already a
beautiful thing?

Hi! I'm
Blade
I hated mirrors. I never liked what I saw
when I looked. I never saw me when I
looked. I knew it was. I knew it had to
be. I moved and the reflection moved, so
of course it was my face that was there.
But it wasn't right. It wasn't me. Same
with photographs...I never saw myself in
the mirror. It never showed me me.

Hi! I'm
Ashley
Since as far
back as anyone can remember I never
dressed, acted nor spoke like the little
girl my parents thought they were supposed
to have. Instead I was out playing
football and cricket, and trying my
damnedest to knot my hair enough to get it
all cut off...In my mind it was
like…if it looks like a bloke, talks
& walks like a bloke then yep, chances
are it's a bloke. Turns out, that's pretty
much what they all thought too, their
primary concern was whether or not I would
be happy.

Hi! I'm
Cindy
I have been very fortunate to find a love
and a companion that beats my wildest
dreams and the joy and happiness of being
able to start a family with this wonderful
person. I admit it took a while to find
and create, but ultimately it was worth
the years I waited. The joy of sharing
this experience with Liam is priceless and
I can’t wait to see the expression on
his face the first time that his son says:
‘Dad’.

Hi! I'm
Florence
My husband, James, and I have two sons.
Alex, who just turned fourteen, is a
classical musician and computer whiz.
Steve just turned eleven. His life
revolves around rocketry, soccer, and
improvising stand-up comedy routines in
the kitchen...As his parents, we're
concerned about the changes puberty will
bring, because we know how distressing it
will be for him to begin to develop
breasts in middle school. And we're sure
that, unless something is done to postpone
or stop it, he will develop breasts and
begin to menstruate, because this
child--who feels and behaves in every way
like an ordinary boy--has a normal female
body.
