'I want what I want ... not what other people think I ought to
want' Roy Clark insists to all those who attempt to help him: to
the psychiatrist at the mental hospital in which he briefly finds
himself; to his baffled but affectionate sister, whose clothes he
has stolen; to his father, who is appalled that he has produced
such a son. For Roy Clark wants to be Wendy Ross. When a small
legacy enables him - not to have the operation on which he has set
his heart - but at least to dress and live his life as a woman, he
feels brilliantly alive for the first time. But then he meets a man
called Frank and, realising he can't live without love, the stage
is set for tragedy. I Want What I Want is an extraordinary portrait
of a young man struggling with his gender identity. Devastating and
deeply moving, it is a modern classic and was made into a film by
the same title starring Anne Heywood.
