I was just watching a documentary "Spitfire Girls" about women pilots in WWII who ferried military aircraft from factories to where they were needed. The interviewed old ladies were still amazing women, often with a slightly detached presence as they thought back to those days for the camera. One woman told about a friend who "always thought like a man" and who later went on to change his gender to male: without a single word of criticism or disapproval.
So I googled and found another amazing story in today's Independent which tells of a MtF trans woman who flew combat aircraft in that war, then raced cars then transitioned in later life. She died alone in 2011 but her daughters didn't find out until two years later.
Just thought I'd share this
