I speak dutch, but haven't found an english version of it...

I even met her in person a couple of times, at a transgendered youth meeting in the Netherlands (I'm from Belgium) :--)

It's a beautifull documentary, where you see how she grows up and some of her struggles through it (not being allowed to do ballet as a girl, still having to change with the boys, etc...). It ends with her telling she's still not certain about SRS, I don't know if she went through with it or not by now though.

Smoking

it's easy to hide you're

it's easy to hide you're smoking from your therapist... it's easy to hide a lot.

But where does it say she's smoking?

I don't know.

I was just agreeing with and elaborating on Anghie's comment. = )
