On item cover: Once I was a man. The story of my life before and after the operation that changed by sex, by DIANNA as told to Felicity Cochrane.

On reverse:
"The pelicewoman suddenly sensed there was something wrong. She reached inside my bra, and discovered the truth.
And I knew I would be spending the night in a cell filled with men...
The story you are about to read will quite possibly shock you in its brutal frankness and graphic descriptions.
It will startle you as it reveals a way of life and a way of sexual being that seem beyond the range of the normal imagination:
And it will move you to a new kind of realization of the torments a sexual deviant must suffer in our society— as well as the hope that new medical techniques offer a person like Dianna, to at last find fulfillment!
