It’s Time for “Who Said That?”
Born in 1957 and raised on his grandparents’ farm in rural New Zealand, he recalls feeling like a girl in a boy’s body. By his mid-teens, he identified as transgender.
After working as a singer, drag queen performer and prostitute, her life took a dramatic turn. She had sexual reassignment surgery in 1984, and eleven years later became mayor of Carterton. Eventually she even won a seat in the New Zealand Parliament.
She once said, “It is important to allow people who want to be positive contributors of our society regardless of sex, race, creed and gender to reach their human potential.”
Who said that?
It was Georgina Beyer, whose life was chronicled in the documentary film, “Georgie Girl.”
