Meet Australia's first transgender priest

From Australia-

When Jo Inkpin was a child, one of her greatest objects of desire was a box kept in her grandmother's attic in London.

In it were piles of sumptuous clothes, a "wonderful array of amazing costumes".

She would slip the "gorgeous dresses" over her head, slip little feet into long shoes and twirl, thrilling to the beauty of silks and satins against her skin, "the swirl of long skirts and tapered folds and pleats, reflecting grace and elegance".

Dr Inkpin, who is Australia's first openly transgender Anglican priest, had realised she was different when she was four or five, she says.

She "couldn't put her finger on" exactly what that meant. But she knew she was not like other boys.
