I Want What I Want by Geoff Brown

4.0

Fascinating and at time devastating book written in the mid sixties about a trans woman from a small working class traditional community, trying to become who she wants to be. The story begins with Wendy (then known as Roy) in a psychiatric hospital because she has stolen women’s underwear from a washing line, and moves on through her journey over the following year. Written with some dry humour at times but also quite harrowing.
