Hi Katie,

So glad it spoke to you! I’ll send you an email and we can connect about quotations for your book.

I am currently in transition from male to female, and you helped me find the words I was looking for as I approach the end of my hormone transition and now face up to the reality of surgery and my physical transition.
The death of my (current) self, the promise of a happier life in the ‘hereafter’ but the reality of surgery, the loss of friendships, some loved ones and starting a new life, potentially alone very much front of mind!

I have just finished writing a book which chronicles my journey from the age of six, when I first realised I should have been born a girl, to today (some 50 years later), and all the ups and downs along the way.

With your permission, I would like to quote part of this article which you have so carefully crafted.
