Ultra Violet’s short autobiography: 1935 ‐ I was born a mystical child. 1940 ‐ I was raised in France at the Sacred Heart Catholic convent where I became rebellious. 1950 ‐ I was exorcised at age 15. 1951 ‐ I was sent to a correction home at the age of 16. 1968 ‐ I burned my bra as a sign of rebellion. 1972 ‐ I questioned the masculinity imbued in religion and scriptures. 1998 ‐ I had absorbed and accepted the gender differences. Present ‐ I believe Jesus Christ to be the Messiah and the Savior of the world. (Statement from Ultra Violet )
