We may take advantage of this pause in the narrative to make certain statements. Orlando had become a woman – there is no denying it. But in every other respect, Orlando remained precisely as he had been. The change of sex, though it altered their future, did nothing whatever to alter their identity. Their faces remained, as their portraits prove, practically the same. His memory – but in future we must, for convention's sake, say 'her' for 'his,' and 'she' for 'he' – her memory then, went back through all the events of her past life without encountering any obstacle. Some slight haziness there may have been, as if a few dark drops had fallen into the clear pool of memory; certain things had become a little dimmed; but that was all. The change seemed to have been  accomplished painlessly and completely and in such a way that Orlando herself showed no  surprise at it. Many people, taking this into account, and holding that such a change of sex is against nature, have been at great pains to prove that Orlando had always been a woman, that Orlando is at this moment a man. Let biologists and psychologists determine. It is enough for us to state the simple fact; Orlando was a man till the age of thirty; when he became a woman and
has remained so ever since.

    “A mudança de sexo, embora tenha alterado seu futuro, não fez nada para mudar a identidade. Seus rostos permaneceram, como provam seus retratos. Sua (his) memoria – mas no futuro, devemos , pelo amor da convenção, dizer dela (her) para dele (his) e ela (her) para ele (his) - sua memória voltou através de todos os acontecimentos de sua vida passada , sem encontrar qualquer obstáculo.”
