NATIONAL PREMIERE

As a pioneering climber of the 1970’s, Jamie Logan ticked off first ascents on some of North America’s most treacherous climbs. But Jamie Logan, the ‘macho’, tough, dominant and successful climber and architect, kept a secret for more than 60 years that terrified him more than any of his climbing activities: he wanted to live as a woman, and she began her transformation at age 69. Now, as a 76-year-old woman, Jamie wants to teach other trans people like her that life can be beautiful by being respectful of yourself, being honest and staying connected to your world.
