People Magazine: "World War II Veteran Comes Out as Transgender at 90 Years Old:

This is a really sweet article about Patricia Davies, a WWII veteran, who has recently come out as transgender at the age of 90. I find this article not only relevant because of the tie between WWII and  lesbian and gay (and transgender) identities, but also because it brings up discourse about age, particularly the elderly, and sexual/gender identity. Cary Davidson and Nancy discussed how they didn't "come out" until their late adult years for particular reasons, and I wish I could ask Patricia, why 90? Our society doesn't tend to sexualize, or make much of the sexual identity of the elderly, and Patricia's story challenges this. I find it amazing that she has started to begin hormone treatments, and that she decided to keep her gender identity secret (except from her wife) for 30 odd years. Take a look-very sweet story!
