Full title: "The Reluctant Man: How fighting transgender for 60 years influenced my life" by A.C. Llewellyn.
"This is A.C. Llewellyn’s life story from age 4 to age 74. It is a memoir, with many layers. It is of the warts and all type, with no one getting off scot free or even lightly.
Originally released in 2012 as Loki’s Joke under the pseudonym Penny Blackwell, this is a revised, re-titled and expanded edition released in the author’s own name."
"The book is not entirely about the transsexual or transgender experience but still that experience pervades it because it informs the author’s personality and actions. There’s the running from one country to another, the hesitation to commit to marriage, and the odd behaviour of simultaneously running a love affair with a woman while taking pills that cause a hormonal shift towards womanhood."
"A.C. Llewellyn was born in Surrey, England way back when. She, or he as she was then, travelled widely in her younger days, hitchhiking twice around the world until she ran out of money and found herself in Australia in 1964. She has been there ever since though with frequent international trips.
She was a teacher ending that career in 2001 and became a practitioner of Bio Resonance medicine.
In 2012 she gave up the fight against gender dysphoria and changed gender in 2013. For the last ten years she has been trying to retire but her business is too demanding. She paints, though hesitates to call herself an artist, sings in choirs, meditates and enjoys her friends and family."
