Backstory

Jan Morris, the noted travel author, who was born a male, never felt male and in adulthood, became a female. I thought it would be interesting to contemplate the reverse.

Many thanks! Only, the story isn't about me - it is about Jan Morris, a very well known travel writer who was born male and decided to be who "she" was when s/he was an adult. She told the story in a book called Conundrum. When I read it, I thought about the reverse. I was born female and happily remain so. But I applaud Jan Morris's strength - and everyone else who commits to truth.
