"On February 11th 1994, Reena took a step that she’d put off for what seemed like an eternity. After a works party, and having being very drunk, she came out to her two best friends as transsexual. It wasn’t planned at all; it’s just the way it happened. The Long Road Ahead follows her own story and the way in which she remembers things from her tender years as a child and how it was for her back then."
"She admits at the time of “coming out” that she never fully understood what “transsexual” was; for her, the only reference point was two articles she’d seen in a tabloid newspaper and a women’s magazine of two transsexuals who had told their story how it was for them. Reena soon came to realise how very similar their own stories were to how she knew she’d felt since her early childhood."
