Tonight we have Paula Nielsen who is a true pioneer. Born Larry Nielsen in 1938, she transitioned identity on May 1, 1963 and has lived as a Trans woman ever since. Paula’s autobiography is called The Trans Evangelists, The Life & Times of a Transgender Pentecostal Preacher. Throughout the 1960's, Paula was a patient of Harry Benjamin, MD. Dr. Benjamin has been long recognized as an expert on sexology and a leader in transsexual treatment.
In 1966 he authored "The Transsexual Phenomenon". To avoid arrest Paula carried a letter from Dr. Benjamin. During this decade Paula sang in the choir, a tall girls' trio and a ladies' choralette in a prominent Foursquare church where they knew nothing about her transsexuality. She also worked for a leading theatrical agency as secretary to the comptroller. Throughout the 1990's Sister Paula made guest appearances on national and international television programs. She was a featured guest on PM Magazine, Jenny Jones, Joan Rivers, The Daily Show, and Strange Universe.
She also appeared on The Shirley Show, a Canadian national talk show. The BBC featured Sister Paula on "Saturday Night Clive"
