(Reporter) This 19-year-old girl has worn

nothing but boys clothes for some years.

Well...

I was brought up with boys.

I've got no sisters.

I think I was more or less

a tomboy from the start,

from a very early age.

How do the shop assistants react

when you walk in to buy men's clothes?

Well, nine times out of ten,

they don't know that I'm a girl.

But there is the odd occasion

where I've gone into a shop

and they've said, "Yes, sir,"

and somebody has said, "ls that a girl?"

Good morning, sir!

Oh... Good morning, "miss".

Good morning. A red rose, please.

There.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

- Good morning, Kate!

- Good morning, sir.

Could I have a buttonhole?

I haven't got any... A few violets?

That'll do nicely!

Do you mind if I pay on Saturday?

(Campy giggling)

Strewth!

What do you make of that, Sam?

(Laughs)

Well, boys will be girls,

and girls will be boys!

J" Stranger, when you look at me

J" Eyes strong as steel

J" Light as day

J" Born a mystery

J" You're the in-between

J" Boy or girl

J" Wilder, than I've known before

J" Fire rushes through every vein

J" With that smile that sings

J" You'll be killing me tenderly

J" Every word is soft as fur

J" I'm drifting deep J"

Yes, sir?

Get in there!

Come on! Move!

Crisp, sir.

Sit down.

Your hair's dyed.

Yes, sir.

A man dying his hair

is a sign of sexual perversion!

J" Stranger, will you remember?

S' Stranger, make me remember you S'

I am Dr Crow.

You are surprised?

Yes, I am.

I expected you to be a man.

- Or a woman...

- I am both.

With the combined

mental and physical endowments

of both man and woman.

You must have great difficulty

with your clothes.

- Do you read your Bible?

- Not constantly.

"Male and female created He them".

Male and female created He "me".

(Reporter 2) Steve and her girlfriend

don't often walk the street for pleasure.

There's too much risk involved.

Risk of public mockery.

Undisguised amazement. Crude jokes.

Many lesbians of course,

aren't so aggressively masculine as Steve,

and for them it's not so bad.

But for Steve, who is 24

and whose whole instinct

cries out to her

to feel and act like a man,

her appearance

makes her constantly vulnerable.

When I was 15 or 16,

I met this girl

and I was with her for six months

and I got engaged to her.

I really forgot that I was a woman.

And she thought she was pregnant,

because there are some things

that a lesbian can use

and I got away with using one of those

and she didn't know the difference.

And the next thing I know...

Her mother kept on

about us getting married,

so I thought I'd better get out of it,

because I knew

I couldn't get married to her.
