Digital Transgender Archive
Peter Alexander, interviewed in Sydney, speaks of his gender transition from female to male. He discusses the aspects of his personality when younger which influenced his decision, his view of women in society and his plans for the future. The predominant voice in this clip is that of Alexander, dressed in jacket and tie, talking cheerily about his interest in sport, his awareness that his "male side and personality" were always dominant, his desire to marry and continue with his musical career. The story was sensationalised in the tabloid newspaper of the day "The Truth."
