Download Woman I Was Not Born to Be: A Transsexual Journey AudioBook Free
Told with humor and flair, this is actually the autobiography of one transsexual's wild drive from boyhood as Alfred Brevard ("Buddy") Crenshaw in rural Tennessee to voluptuous female entertainer in Hollywood. Aleshia Brevard, as she is now known, underwent transitional surgery in LA in 1962, main such operations in america. (The famous intimate surgery pioneer Harry Benjamin himself broke the news headlines to Brevard's parents.) Under the stage name Lee Shaw, Brevard worked well as a pull queen at Finocchio's, a SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA membership, doing Marilyn Monroe impersonations. (Like Marilyn, she wanted romance at all times and acquired a string of entanglements with men.) Later, she worked well as a stripper in Reno and as a Playboy Bunny at the Sunset Remove hutch. After participating in opposite Don Knotts in the movie The Love God, Brevard made an appearance in other films and broke into Television as a normal on the Red Skelton Show. She created the role of Tex on the daytime cleaning soap opera One Life To Live. As a female, Brevard returned to teach theatre at East Tennessee Express, the same university or college she had attended as a boy. This memoir is a uncommon pre-women's movement profile of approaching to conditions with gender id. Brevard writes frankly about the degree to which she arranged her life around pleasing men, and how absurd everything seems to her now. Aleshia Brevard is still active in theatre as an celebrity and director.
