I realised I was trans when I was 61 | SBS Insight

Fran first felt she was in the wrong body when she was a young child. It wasn’t until she was 61 that she realised she was transgender, after a tumultuous adult life. “I’m thinking ‘you’ve got your relationship, you’re steady … you go sailing, you go running. Why do you still feel like you’re a fraud’? And straight through my head: ‘Cos you’re supposed to be a girl.” This is a digital extra from the filming of Insight episode Trans Medicine. To explore a range of different views about healthcare for trans youth, watch the episode on SBS On Demand if you’re in Australia, or on our YouTube channel if you're overseas.
