I knew some of this already. I have 2 transsexual friends who grew up in pastor families in the Bible Belt in the USA. They were gay at a time when homosexuality was against the law. Under family pressure, they went to Argentina for surgery, knowing it was Nazis who were doing it, but thinking they had no other way of living their lives. They know they are men presenting as women. One still lives as a woman abd passes as a 70+woman who is a bit dotty. The other looks like a butch woman but now lives as a gay man, as he should have throughout his life. I have known both for 50 years being introduced to them by my mother who met them at work. If things had been different, I would never have met them as they would be gay men living in the USA. Not much has changed in the last 50 years has it?
