Bob Tur, a famed helicopter pilot-reporter who covered the L.A. riots of the early 1990s and the 1994 O.J. Simpson freeway chase, is becoming a woman.
Tur is in the process of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to make the sex change.
"It's a genetic disorder that happens in utero," says Tur. "You're born with a female or feminized brain ... You think you're a woman, but you're [biologically] a man."
She says she's only been on the hormones for 35 days but is already changing.
"Mental changes have already happened. ... I'm thinking the same way a woman would think. About the five-month mark, you won't recognize me," says Tur.
"My body is changing, my skin, hair is changing, and I'll have a female shape."
"Breasts start growing and I'll lose body hair. About 12 months, there are another couple of surgeries. Facial feminization surgery and sexual reassignment surgery."

When the change is complete, Tur's name will change from Robert to Zoey.
She was previously married and has two
