Now I’m 58, proud to be a feminist and still feel the personal is political. When I was a child I’d had a floppy doll. I cut her hair off really short. And I took her dress off, so that she was wearing a singlet and pants. She was very tomboyish. I had her with me for years. I was 18 when I came out. I’d had a boyfriend, and I said to him – I think we should have […]

As a feminist who’s just turned sixty I’ve got wisdom, I’ve got knowledge and I think I’m pretty fabulous for my age. I’m a professional perve. I’m a shutter slut. I’m a photographer. I’m a subversive and a pervert. I like those labels. As a feminist who’s just turned sixty I’ve got wisdom, I’ve got knowledge and I think I’m pretty fabulous for my age. I consider myself a Sydney sider. I was born in Darlinghurst, Sydney – couldn’t be […]

I am 78, approaching 79 years old.  Ageing is inevitable so there’s no point worrying about it.  I’d prefer to be 39, but there it is. From my earliest memory I wanted to be female.  That feeling never left me, no matter the social circumstances around me.  I realised I could do something about it when I was seventeen, but I was 52 when I began my transition. I could not hurt people who loved me and depended on me up […]
