"Absence of Justice: The Erica Kay Story" is the autobiography of Erica Kay-Webster. Historically Erica is one of the first persons to undergo sexual reassignment surgery in this country and probably the youngest. She underwent surgery at the age of 17 and is currently 63 years old. Dr. Harry Benjamin was her therapist. Erica lived successfully in deep stealth for almost thirty years having a prominent career until 1995 when she became the focus of transphobia and her gender assignment surgery was on the cover of every tabloid in the world. Her marriage was invalidated as a same sex marriage in Georgia and since she was no longer legally married she was convicted of theft by taking of the family auto. Erica spent 4 years in prison, studied the law, filed her own Habeas Corpus and sued the State of Georgia in Federal Court based on Sexual Discrimination. Later she relocated to Panama City, Florida where she opened a business for Custom Drapery, Upholstery, and Interior Decorating. Once the old tabloids surfaced she was railroaded by the police and court system once again. On November 22, 2010 her conviction was overturned by the Florida Court of Appeals. She is currently suing the Panama City Police, The City of Parker, the Parker Police and two police detectives. Her story is a must read for anyone wanting to learn about the Transgender birth condition and the intense Transphobia which exists around the world. The screenplay is now underway with Monica Sun @ Shadow Majic Films/20th Century Fox and David Webster for a feature film of her life story. Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction.
