Frank Little, 40, was a brilliant scientist, a husband, the father of
three children–and he was terribly unhappy being a man, according to
an Associated Press story from Rosyth, Scotland.

Little said that his psychological and biological systems had started
changing recently. "About 10 months ago I began to go out with my wife,
dressed as a woman," he said.

Appearing at a news conference with his wife, Little wore a green coat,
nylons and high heels, the AP said. He carried a red purse and wore
makeup and jewelry. He announced that he would be "changing sex," the story
said without elaborating.

Little planned to continue dressing as a man to comply with the
requirements of his electronics research job at an Admiralty research
facility, the story said. Otherwise, he intended to take on the role of
his wife’s sister.

His wife, whose name was not given, said: "There will, of course, be
some cruel people who will cause our children a great deal of anguish,
but we have to decide for the best. My husband and I think there will
be more benefits for the children if the home is not broken."

She added: "I have now learned to accept it and I now feel toward my
husband as a sister and I believe we can still keep our home a happy
place for all of us."

Unfortunately, neither the AP nor The Times followed up on this story, coming five years after the sensational case of Christine Jorgensen. In fact, I cannot locate any further information anywhere about Frank Little. As always, we can only hope for the best.
