Original Toronto Star caption: Apparently a normal man in every way when he wed in 1948, John Jiousselot, a Frenchman, now 30 - ex-resistance fighter, ex-marine and skilled carpenter - has become a woman. A gradual psychological and physical change begun a few years ago has now been completed with medical assistance - and his two daughters have lost a father, but gained another mother. John - now Jeanette - plans to become a Paris barmaid.
