Sara-Jane Cromwell
Sara-Jane Cromwell is a ground-breaking author and educator/trainer/mentor and lifecoach on Gender Identity and Gender Dysphoria. She is also an inspirational figure for people going through many of life’s difficulties. Her book, Becoming Myself, deals with her experience of having to overcome many of life’s challenges. According to Sara-Jane, the greatest challenge of her life (even greater than her battle with her gender identity), was being raised as mentally retarded and leaving school at the age of eleven and starting work at the age of twelv. Sara-Jane grew up in Ballyfermot in the 1960s and 1970s, when it was simply impossible for children of her age to ever be themselves. Sara-Jane was self-educated until she entered college as a mature student and graduated from the National College of Ireland at thirty.
