Well-known British writer Jan Morris, a transgendered woman who began her life as a man named James, has married the woman she long ago divorced to change sexes in a civil union.

Elizabeth Tuckniss and James Morris were originally married in 1949, having met in London while taking an Arabic course. Morris had recently returned from serving as an intelligence officer in Palestine and Italy after he graduated from Oxford.

The couple was very happy together and brought five children into the world, although they suffered the heartbreak of losing one daughter after only two months. James gathered accolades as a journalist, breaking the news of Sir Edmund Hillary’s succesful climb of Everest. However, he has always felt “wrongly equipped” in his body although he never felt attracted to men. In 1972, after several years of hormone therapy, he travelled to Morocco and underwent sex change surgery.
