With his woman's rights energy and Gerda's bolster, Einar - or Elbe endeavored first-ever male to female sex reassignment surgery, a choice that transformed into a gigantic change for their marriage, that Gerda understood her own spouse is no more a man or the individual she wedded some time recently.
