A.C. Llewellyn was born in Surrey, England during the second world war . He was brought up largely in different orphanages. She, or he as she was then, travelled widely in her younger days, hitchhiking twice around the world. She ran out of money and found herself in Australia in 1964. She has been there ever since though with frequent international trips.
Gender dysphoria was a constant companion, affecting all that life brought. Not all was negative as in her constant effort to do things to distract herself she gained her HSC in one year and attended university to post graduate level and was a teacher. Retiring early she became a practitioner of Bio Resonance medicine. In 2002, having built five houses, she gave up the fight against gender dysphoria and with her wife’s blessing changed gender. She paints, though hesitates to call herself an artist, sings in choirs, meditates, writes, makes stained glass and lead lights, plays some musical instruments, and enjoys her friends and family.
