He wants ever so much to please his parents and do what they think is right for him, but from time to time that becomes a very difficult task.
As a young adult, George takes a very large interest in photography.
He gets a chance of a lifetime when his boss allows him to take on the job his boss usually does.
Only that doesn't work out. Because everyone believes George is gay.
But he is not gay.
After exhausting all the help he can conjure for the confusion he is feeling inside, George gets turned onto a doctor's book about confusions in male and female hormones.
Eventually, George becomes the first man ever to undergo a successful and complete sex change.
