Synopsis:
A portrait of the first post-operative female-to-male, Michael Dillon, describes how Laura Dillon felt like a man trapped in a woman's body, her efforts to feel comfortable in her own skin, her experimentation with medical technologies and procedures that would revolutionize medicine, and her life following surgery, in a story that captures the struggles of early transsexuals.
