"My name is Emma Jane Preston and I am 52 years old from Blackburn, Lancashire. I am not a transgender celebrity, transgender actress, model, or socialite. I am just Emma, a shopkeeper down the road in Burnley with two beautiful children.
I am a person who happens to live and breathe with red blood. I decided to start writing a diary which soon turned into a couple of chapters. Over time this turned into 8 chapters and then sat doing nothing for a long time. Then one day I started writing again and in the space of 74 days I wrote around 63,000 words. Forewarned – I have had to proofread the book myself as I do not have the money to get it done professionally. Being Transgender is not a science or textbook on the world of transgender."
