George

Although he is male, George Robert 's natural urge is to function as a female. His condition is defined as transexual.

Early this year George put into effect a decision that had been maturing in his mind since he was a teenager-to become a woman in the fullest sense possible. It is a decision for which George will pay dearly - socially, financially and physically as electrolysis, massive doses of hormones and surgery transform his body. Meanwhile, in the first stage of his journey across the sexes, George attempts to become a national health patient, and ' comes out' fully by donating all his male clothing to charity and changing his name to Julia.
