Gee, that's long ago. I remember the movie 'Switch'. The main character wakes up as a female to re-live his life in a woman's shoes. I thought a lot about that movie.
There was not much educational material in those days and I found a book in the library on transsexuals and I was way to scared to sign it out and secretly read most of it hidden inside another book. I was even too scared to be seen looking in that section of the library.
