Transgender woman’s selfies document transition


Christine Beynon was born Alan – and came out as female in her mid-60s. She’s documented her transition in a series of selfie portraits.

Christine talks about growing up in a conservative village in Ireland, and deciding to publicly embrace her identity many years later.
