Diversity activist switches genders
http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/index.php?sty=42895

Michele Culver is a 1-yearold female. So pay no attention to the 49-year-old male body she is walking around in.
That body has always been the biggest obstacle to her happiness. But as of June 1 last year, Culver dropped all pretensions about altering it.

She had been injecting estrogen into the body for years, chemically calming an internal gender war raging within her since her childhood.

Culver, a Scottsdale resident and ambassador to the city’s minorities, says she is now free of her struggle for identity. She has "transitioned," dropping the male name — Kenneth — that she has answered to and hated her whole life.
