Just Julia : the story of an extraordinary woman

J. Grant

In 1980 George Roberts became Julia Grant. Half the story, up to the operation, was first told at BBC 'Inside Story' series at the time. With no aftercare service for transexuals in the uk, many people go through surgery only to find it has not been the answer to all their problems. The success rate of male to female operations is not good, with many transexuals living as lesbians, turning to prostitution or, tragically, committing suicide within months of leaving the hospital. Julia Grant tells in this book how her life went on after the operation.
