Please help me.
By Rachel Rathbone.
I always knew I was female, from an early age. Never more so than when I went to primary school, an all-boys school with me, a little Transgender Girl, in among the chaos of the boys in the 1970s and 1980s when even being gay was outlawed and ridiculed. I spent six long years being beaten and bullied by students and teachers alike, day-in, day-out without fail. I was left depleted and in the end destroyed. I dug down deep to try and hide myself, Rachel.
I found it hard to learn so I taught myself how to read and write at home. I was scared mentally and still am physically.
