Biff those that have gone throu the sex change are called "transgender" .They are born in the wrong body. Example is Georgina Beyer. She was born in in a boys body but should have been born a woman.Originally Posted by Biff
Transgendered folk go throu hell most of their lives until they get the change done. They know in themselves who they are, but they have to prove it to so many people - Dr's etc before they can have the op. The Operation itself is very costly. There are more men becoming women than there are women becoming men. "Transsexual's" have yet to go throu the operation, but on the hormone replacement therapy meds etc.
Transvestite's are people who like to dress up in women's clothes, and are usually hetrosexual men. They are sometimes also called a "cross-dresser" example the NZ police officer who was caught nicking women's clothes in the Manawatu area a couple of years ago. He was straight but loved the feel of satin on his body.
Jazbug Wow be proud of who 'Peter' was/is, as Peter knew who he really was. Back then there were no operations.
There are still many who are living like "Peter" today and no one would ever know. Not until they die when it is discovered. Example a video called "The Ballad of Jo".
I do believe that the programme should be shown on TV1 or other main free to air TV channel's so that everyone in NZ got the chance to see it.
It is an excellent programme.
