Steve had gender reassignment surgery after his wife, Jill, moved into a care home.
Steve immersed himself in sport, coming third in his weight category in the national judo championships three years running
Jill never recovered properly from a general anaesthetic almost nine years ago and Steve, a skilled carpenter and joiner, whose work took him all over Cornwall, became increasingly concerned about her safety while she was at home on her own."It got too much and I gave up work completely to look after her full time.""At home, I would just be who I wanted to be and try to look after Jill - but it wasn't brilliant," she says.
Eventually, Stephanie became so stressed and depressed that she was admitted to hospital for five days. Paula says Stephanie's college work was always exceptional despite the emotional upheaval of gender reassignment and her wife moving into a care home.
