Just Julia by Julia Grant

In 1981 George Roberts underwent a sex-change operation and became Julia Grant, but after emergency treatment things started to go drastically wrong. Beginning with a traumatic childhood of abuse, prostitution and crime, culminating in a series of prison sentences, and then following the futile attempts to come to terms with a male body, this book goes beyond the New English Library publication "George and Julia", and recounts what happened after the unsuccessful operation. Julia tells how her theatrical career took off, and then was destroyed; how she left Britain for Amsterdam; and how she finally returned to the stage in a cabaret act, "The Bitch is Back". The book highlights the difficulties faced by transsexuals in Britain, and includes lists of useful addresses and help-lines.
