"The story of Racheal's life. Born a boy, Andrew, growing up as a typical kiwi kid through manhood always knowing there was something different but living up to society's expectations of a man. Leo meant a leader. Head boy at school, 1st XV Rugby team, a staunch front-row prop.
A pillar in communities, married and two children. then with the help of the internet, able to discover why there was a comfort in dressing in secret as a female. The trauma of coming out, Gender Reassignment Surgery in Thailand, and finally complete and happy at last.
Racheal was a city girl.
Now in the works of her surgeon, 'Her body matched her soul.'"
In 2013, I interviewed Rachel and asker her at what age she transitioned into a woman: "Around 48, I came out to all. I’d been on hormones for close to 2 years. I lost 3 stones (42lb) in 3 months. I lost my father 10 days after I came out, my kids disowned me and I have never heard from them since. Rumors and exaggerations were rife in the community where I lived. I lost a beautiful lady who I loved, My business suffered due to our bitter break-up. Stress was huge and I guess I went a bit ballistic. So I had no support from family or friends."
