A Change of Sex

It's 1979 and Julia's first year living as a woman, before the NHS psychiatrist in charge of her case makes a decision on whether to allow gender reassignment surgery.

In 1980, Julia Grant's attempt to obtain permission for gender reassignment surgery stalls after a year of seeing the NHS psychiatrist who can sanction the operation. She determines to seek help elsewhere.

It is now 1994, and the years since Julia Grant's gender reassignment surgery have been full of surprises and problems.

It is 1998, and the problems of the years following Julia Grant's transition finally seem over. Julia is living in a new city with a new job and her confidence has grown, with love in the air.
