Wendy Carlos: Personal life
Her first recordings were originally released under her birth name—being a transsexual woman, she changed her name to Wendy Carlos.She underwent sexual reassignment surgery in 1972, though she had lived as a woman for many years beforehand, and had been taking hormone treatments prior to that. The last release to be credited to her old name was
By Request (1975). The first as Wendy was
Switched-On Brandenburgs (1979). On her official site, there is an answer to the question of why original LPs "have a different name on them", suggesting that a male name on a classical LP would have been accepted more eagerly. Her transition is not discussed, beyond statements to the effect that she values her privacy on the subject.
