I've never liked the 'trapped in a male body' phraseology. Yes, I am female, and yes, I was born with a male body, but I wasn't trapped in it. Rather it was outside influences that trapped me. Now that, two thirds of a century later, I have at last escaped from the trap, I am still in the body I was born with. Certainly there are ways in which that body does not conform with my gender, and for my own comfort I intend to do something about at least some of them - but no way am I still trapped and I am so happy to be able to live full time as a woman.
