LIKE most teenagers Jackie Green couldn't wait for her special 16th birthday present.

But the gift from her mum Susie wasn't clothes or jewellery — it was a £13,500 sex change operation.

Jackie, who was born Jack, knew she wanted to switch genders from the age of four.

And following years of horrific bullying and FIVE suicide attempts Jackie, from Leeds, became one of the youngest transsexuals in the world after the seven-hour procedure in Thailand turned her into a woman.
