Hi there,
My new radio documentary, ‘My Name is Lydia Foy’, is available now for podcast from RTÉ Radio 1.
You can listen at http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/radio-documentary-my-name-is-lydia-foy-transgender-transsexual.html
Lydia Foy was born in 1947, in Athlone; she was, as far as anybody could tell, a boy. She went to boarding school, university, married and had children. But throughout, she knew she was actually female. Eventually, she had gender reassignment surgery. And then, she discovered she faced another odyssey, this time a legal one: according to her birth certificate, she was still male.
This documentary follows Lydia’s journey through life, and through the courts, in pursuit of her right to be the woman she always knew she was… To a soundtrack of “the songs that won the War”.
You can also podcast it via iTunes (under RTÉ Documentaries), or via the free RTÉ Documentaries iPhone app.
If you have time to listen, I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for your interest.
