It's a Girl, Finally: One woman's journey from being born a male to transforming herself into the female she was inside.
At the age of nine, Tony knew she was a girl inside and began secretly cross-dressing. Twenty years later, she took the courageous step that only a small fraction of transgendered people take: she had sexual reassignment surgery to match her body to her mind. In between those two milestones, Toni lead a fascinating life as a lesbian, detective, and police officer.
It’s a Girl, Finally chronicles her turbulent journey from being born a male to becoming the female she knew she was inside.
Toni’s journey began as the son of a fiercely Sicilian, Evangelical Christian family and continues today as a woman, a lesbian with a longtime life partner, and a successful law enforcement officer. Along the way, she conquered some of life’s most difficult challenges, persevering through bullying, estrangement from some of her family, loneliness, hatred, exploitation, bigotry, and ridicule.
It’s a Girl, Finally, is Toni’s exquisitely honest story. It reveals her innermost thoughts and feelings about coming to grips with the fact that she was the exact opposite of who she appeared to the rest of the world to be, and then going under the knife to change her gender.
This is a story of hope, courage, and triumph for everyone.
