==Career==
Burns was born in the London Borough of Redbridge and attended the University of Manchester, earning first-class honours in computer science in 1975 and a master's degree in 1977. During her time as a city IT consultant and a Tory activist, she chose not reveal her trans history to colleagues.〔Staff report (8 November 1998). Sex-change sergeant-major who is facing expulsion from army. ''Sunday Mercury''〕 In 1995, Burns came out to local Tory leadership〔LGBT History Month (October 2005) http://www.lgbthistorymonth.org.uk/history/christineburns.htm〕 in order to campaign more openly.〔Paris, Matthew; The Times (16 Oct 1995) http://www.webarchive.org.uk/wayback/archive/20060124120000/http://www.pfc.org.uk/politics/camdiary.htm, ''"The Diary of a Conference Campaigner"''〕 The British tabloids, however, chose to ignore her as she was "too ordinary".〔Woolf, Marie (26 November 2003). (He ain't heavy, he's my sister. ) ''The Independent'', (archive )〕 Remembering this era, she jokes about her changing perception of herself as a trans activist: "I realised something had changed in 1997, when I realised it was more embarrassing to admit to being a conservative than to being a trans woman."〔Burns, Christine (10 July 2008). (A Life in a Day Part Three: And then we had 'T'. ) ''Just Plain Sense''〕
