FORMER world surfing champion Peter Drouyn always knew he was a woman trapped in a man's body.

So the Tweed Heads resident underwent a sex change to free herself.

Now, Westerly Windina is the Tweed’s newest lawyer looking to bring glamour back to the courts with her own local firm.

“When I was born my mother and the doctor always saw a girl,” Ms Windina said.

“And when I was a child I always felt different.

“I just had this ‘thing’ between my legs. I felt trapped.

“That man (Drouyn) is gone now.”

In her former life as Mr Drouyn, Ms Windina was a Gold Coast surfing legend.

She
achieved fame and glory as world surfing number one in 1970 amongst
numerous other titles spanning a 20-year career and was inducted into
the Gold Coast Sporting Hall of Fame in 1999.

Ms Windina,
formerly of Surfers Paradise, said her male hormones were drained from
her body and replaced with female ones over eight years.

“As a woman I feel like I have different objectives, not violence, not physical aggression,” she said.

“I have a new lease on life.

“As a child I always felt as if I was different. I didn’t act like a boy.”

Having
given up the board shorts for the bikini, Ms Windina spent the past
five years working on obtaining her solo law practitioner’s license.

She
recently established Express Law in Tweed Heads and is looking to
represent local people with cases regarding discrimination, disability
and the elderly.

“But most importantly I want to represent people who are innocent,” Ms Windina said.

“I want to help people in need who can’t afford legal help and have difficulty with legal aid.”

The independent lawyer said her representation is free to an extent.

“The money is not the most important thing to me,” she said.“I’m about peace towards justice.”

Promoting
a virtuous nature and humility as her main elements, Ms Windina said
she also hopes to become Australia’s first transsexual judge.

“As
an innovative judge I would look at the circumstances of the case plus
the emotional elements of everyone involved, not just the victim,” she
said.

“I would be a creative judge, who looks broadly at all perspectives.

“I believe it has all been lost in the system recently. I would look for justice, fairness and equity.”

Ms Windina said she would bring motivation back and would look into the emotions of those before the court.

“These days the judges are too fast to rubber stamp a case just so they can get out and go fishing,” she said.

“People are being placed in these bins and pens and not being allowed out.”

Llilibel?

Hey! Llilibel here.  And no I’m not a female.  Never considered becoming one (although it might be nice to have the squeeze box thing?).  I’ve been thinking of changing my Swaylock’s “name” for a long time because it is sexually ambiguous.  When I first signed on to Swaylocks I never in a million years thought it would become part of my daily routine.  I just signed up to ask a couple of questions about epoxy.  I used the first thing that came to mind- which was my buddy’s son’s mispronunciation of my daughter’s name, which I then spelled wrong when I registered. So that’s what llilibel is all about.

Yeah Jeff I know you're not a woman or a former woman or man.  I wasn't implying anything about your sexual identity rather just pointing out the fact that you have a genuine board building thread going in contrast to this gossip thread. 

Oh…OK.

Sounds like a porno in the making. Who wants to direct?

Poof, there goes surfings macho image!   (pun intended)

But credit him a VERY good surfer, whatever...
