THREE-RIVERS | That one is born in the body of a man or woman, sexual identity is not always clearly defined. Few people have the courage to talk about it publicly, but to break the taboo, a 20 year old young man has agreed to tell the years, sometimes difficult to where he had thought to change sex.

“At the age of 14 years old, I started to have doubts on my personal identity”, he entrusted to TVA Nouvelles.

Three years later, Avon is disappeared from radar screens, to leave all the place to Vivienne.

“I made the hair grow, I was still doing the arms and legs. I started to dress as a woman every day,” he recounted.

The result was rather convincing, but his employer of the time was clearly not appreciated his sudden metamorphosis.

“They (the patrons), discussed to be able to put me at the door in a lawful manner. It was unwise that I imbalance of the fund, as a tiny problem like that could put me out. I had to constantly protect myself,” he remembered.

Out of patience, he resigned… without knowing that it would be months to regain a normal life.

“I was unable to find work. Exceeded, I shaved my hair and went back to the appearance of a man. I had a job the following week”, he said.

In the world of a drag queen

He has now abandoned the idea of great operation and saw her womanhood differently in the rhythm of the music. Dressed in a red robe, he is about to go on stage for a number of drag queen.

“It gives me a well, when I’m totally dressed as a woman and that I can perform.”

Devon hope in the medium term be able to earn his living in some of the biggest cabarets in the province, and this is certainly not his family that’s going to try to dissuade him.

“It is all a process of adaptation. The most beautiful thing that my son had taught me, it is the open mind,” said his mother Mona, who could not for all the gold in the world to miss his show.
