I speak dutch, but haven't found an english version of it...

I even met her in person a couple of times, at a transgendered youth meeting in the Netherlands (I'm from Belgium) :--)

It's a beautifull documentary, where you see how she grows up and some of her struggles through it (not being allowed to do ballet as a girl, still having to change with the boys, etc...). It ends with her telling she's still not certain about SRS, I don't know if she went through with it or not by now though.

grtz & hugs,

Smoke?

Because she's Dutch. Cheap tobacco hardly discourages it.

I've no idea how it's done elsewhere in the world, but the London Gender Identity Clinic won't approve you for hormone therapy if you're a smoker. THAT'S why it's silly, at least if you're TG in Britain.
