Twee Lewens <\/em>verlede jaar bekend gestel en die University of the Third Age (U3A) Helderberg se Afrikaanse leeskring was een van die eerste boekklubs in die Strand wat na Elise se storie en dele uit haar boek kom luister het.<\/p>\n\n\n\nElise, wat soos sy skryf, \u201cin my ander lewe\u201d as Pierre bekend gestaan het, het in 1973 \u2019n dapper besluit geneem om \u2019n transgender-operasie te ondergaan om haar liggaam by haar siel en haar binneste te laat pas. Sy het die werklike operasie eers twee jaar later ondergaan, maar in die tussentyd is sy deur keurings en evaluasies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Elise se hart moes sy nie \u2019n man gewees het nie \u2013 sy moes \u2019n vrou gewees het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het Donderdagmiddag 16 Maart die boekklub se lede by Heritage Manor se klubhuis in Somerset-Wes stories oor haarself, wat sy vir lank in haar binneste saam met haar gedra het, vertel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is in Graaff-Reinet gebore en dit was \u2019n dorpie waar almal alles van mekaar geweet het, en mense was nie juis nydig nie,\u201d onthou sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elise het van kleins af erg onder kinders deurgeloop en is gereeld woorde soos \u201chomo\u201d toegesnou. \u201cDaardie jare was dit taboe om oor seks te praat. Ek het self nie geweet waar ek inpas nie. Ek moes toe my jaar diensplig gaan doen en daar moes ek meeding met forse mans wat gevloek het en ek was s\u00f3 skaam. Ek is wel trots op een ding \u2013 ek het nooit op die paradegrond flou geword nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het \u2019n moeilike pad in die weermag gestap en onthou toe sy die eerste keer hoor hoe \u2019n geweer afgaan en sy so groot geskrik het dat sy by die naaste tent ingehardloop en haar ore toegedruk het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy oupa het vir my ma ges\u00ea \u2018di\u00e9 kind gaan deur \u2019n fase\u2019 en hy het altyd ges\u00ea ek sal dit maak, maar ek het nie. Ek het op driejarige ouderdom besef ek is anders. Ek het geweet ek is eintlik as \u2019n vrou gebore, al het daar iets aan my gehang wat nie daar moes wees nie. Die enigste manier hoe ek werklik \u2019n vrou sou kon word, is as ek my liggaam verander het, maar ek het nie geweet hoe nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die eerste keer wat sy soos \u2019n vrou aangetrek het, het haar groep vriendinne (drie bejaardes tannies in De Aar, waar sy gewerk het) so geskrik dat hulle die teekoppies laat val het toe hulle agterkom dis Elise (wat toe nog Pierre was). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaardie jare was homoseksualiteit geheel en al teen die wet. Ek het gedink ek was aangetrokke tot mans, maar die weermag het dit anders bewys en dit was nie die geval nie. Ek was \u2018something\u2019 baie snaaks.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy bespreek dit toe met haar baas dat sy nie weet wat met haar aangaan nie, en di\u00e9 het haar na \u2019n dokter verwys, wat haar na \u2019n psigiater gestuur het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVolgens die psigiater was ek \u2018transseksueel\u2019, en ek het so groot vir die woord geskrik omdat ek nie geweet het wat dit beteken nie. Is ek mal? Want ek ken nie die woord nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het toe gehoor van ene Christine Jorgensen, wat in 1952 in Noorwe\u00eb dieselfde transgender-operasie ondergaan het as wat sy sou ondergaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaar hoe gaan ek in Noorwe\u00eb kom? Dis buite die kwessie. Ek het toe van \u2019n transseksuele kliniek by die HF Verwoerd-hospitaal in Pretoria gehoor en is soontoe. Die personeel by daardie kliniek was baie empaties. So konserwatief as wat Suid-Afrika was, net so was ons die leiers op die gebied van geslagsverandering,\u201d onthou Elise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voor haar operasie het sy elke Dinsdag die kliniek ten volle geklee in vroueklere bygewoon met \u2019n pruik en al. Later is sy by die werk oorgeplaas na \u2019n nuwe tak waar sy (al was sy toe nog \u2019n man) met vroueklere en \u2019n pruik kon gaan werk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is aan almal as \u2019n vrou voorgestel en het \u2019n doktersbriefie in my sak gehad as die polisie my dalk voorkeer, want destyds was dit nog onwettig om homoseksueel te wees en vir \u2019n man om soos \u2019n vrou aan te trek,\u201d onthou sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is in 1975 tot die program toegelaat en n\u00e1 \u2019n R36-toegangsfooi is sy vir die transgender-operasie opgeneem, waarna sy ses weke later as volwaardige vrou uitgestap het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rina Swart, die voorsitter van die U3A Helderberg- se Afrikaanse leeskring, het ges\u00ea Elise was ontsettend dapper om in die jare sewentig \u2019n transgender-operasie te ondergaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cS\u00f3 \u2019n operasie was ongehoord en onbekend, om nie eens te praat van die spot en verwerping wanneer jy besluit om van geslag te verander nie. Ek sou eenvoudig moed opgegee en maar aangegaan het met my lewe. Deur di\u00e9 boek te lees, het ek ook meer geleer wat so \u2019n operasie behels en hoe jy fisiek verander word. Dit was vir my nuwe kennis en werklik geweldig interessant,\u201d het Swart ges\u00ea. .<\/span> <\/span>Belangstellendes kan Elise Bishop se boek, wat tans in sy derde drukoplaag is, direk by haar per e-pos bestel.
