My Knight’s Quest
In this autobiography Adrian tells a personal story, the story of a search to find a space in the world; a place where she could truly exist. It is the story of how her life went from being secretive and unknown to being accepted and understood. A must-read for anyone with an interest in our shared transgender experience over the past 60 years.
The Adrian is well known to many as the webmistress of the on-line group TgR, and organiser of signature events for transwomen in Sydney. Her story however started over 60 years as a secret crossdresser in the UK. She openly talks about her journey from that secretive start, including marriage, the early days of the internet, her membership of the Seahorse Society, the growth of the TrannyRadio website, the organising of TransFormal, and the joys of travel as a transwoman.
Few of us consider that our life is particularly interesting or unusual. We can recall some brief highlights over the years with a smile, but often our lives are cluttered with moments we would rather not remember. I was no different in this respect, though perhaps I had more clutter than many. The events that could make up my life story, such as my career and family life, were clearly of little interest to anyone. My past was captured in photograph albums and travel diaries, all hidden away in cupboards.
There was one aspect of my life that I would have preferred to remain buried, and that was my long quest to create a space for myself as a woman. Those memories might have remained comfortably hidden had it not been for one man who was determined to dig them up.
