Alexandra Bogdanovic's Blog: That's life... - Posts Tagged "privacy"

My life is an open book

As a journalist, I asked my share of tough questions. Today I answered some.
At 1 p.m., I had a blog talk radio interview with Patrick Morgan. For the most part, we talked about my memoir, "Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey."
During the conversation, we discussed my reasons for writing the book sharing the delicate -- if not controversial -- subject matter included therein.
As I explained, "Truth" is the true account of how I met, fell in love with and married the man of my dreams, and how I learned that he self-identified as and planned on having gender reassignment surgery to become a woman. In the book I also share what happened after I learned the truth.
On a couple of occasions, Patrick hesitated before posing difficult questions. He prefaced each by apologizing for asking them and telling me I didn't have to answer if they were too personal.
I could have chosen not to comment and left it at that. Instead, I answered even the hardest questions as fully and honestly as possible.
As far as I'm concerned, I lost my right to privacy when I chose to share my story. After all, my life is an open book.
Until next time, "That's life..."
