The first gender reassignment surgery occurred in 1921. Nonetheless, for most people this remains a little-understood and controversial topic. It is also rare enough for most people not to have ever met a gender reassignment subject.
Natasha (not her real name) came into the studio to talk to me about her motivations, experience and reflections on why she chose to become a woman, how the process changed her and what she has learned.
Natasha's insights into what it means to belong to a gender, her commitment to the change she made, her struggle to deal with personal cost she paid: all of these will change your perspective. I left this interview realizing that courage is not always where we expect, and that our perceptions of identity are more complex than we realize.
