By host Tom Ashbrook:
When Roy Berkowitz-Shelton was 50, he told his wife he was a woman -- and probably always had been. Not in any way you could immediately see, but deep inside -- a woman in a man's body.
Now, the marriage is effectively over. Roy is "Deborah" -- Dr. Deborah Bershel. Her patients are getting used to it. Her children's lives have been changed by their dad's revelation. And she is living a transgendered life.
It's been a hard road to what feels, for this human being, like liberation.
This hour On Point: Dr. Deborah Bershel talks about her transgender journey.
