From the author of "I Want to Be Her: a Memoir," a new collection of narratives following the ups and downs of one transgender woman coming into her own in Donald Trump's America.
In 2017, I talked to Christi about her transition and this is what she told me: "I didn’t even hear the term “transgender” until I was almost forty years old. I lived four decades, basically thinking something was wrong with me.
I knew I was a woman inside, but I figured everyone would think me insane so I never told anyone – except my wife. I told her many years ago.
In 2011, when I finally saw a TV program about it, and I fully understood it, I knew immediately that I would transition eventually. But it wasn’t until Caitlyn Jenner came out and sort of opened the door for us that I finally made the decision to come out and begin my own transition at age 44. Thanks, Caitlyn!"
