CHRISIE Edkins is strikingly pretty. It's hard to believe the 32-year-old singer, DJ and model was born male.

Chrisie used to be Chris – a bit of a bad boy.

It is only when she speaks that any hint of her history is apparent – she elected not to have vocal surgery as it would have meant she would have had to call time on her singing career.

And Chrisie, from Southampton, doesn't want to disguise her past.

She is confident, happy and keen to share her story in the hope of helping other transgender people.

It's great to see someone willing to be open and share their story and still keep such a positive attitude.

Chrisie (one "s") Edkins has a number of YouTube videos and her own channel.

She has embarked on an LGBT pride and awareness crusade for 2012-2013. Check it out on her channel at

Will check it out. 
Personally, I'll be happy when this is not news outside the social pages.

What is interesting about Chrisie is, because she is a singer/performer, she had chosen to keep hed "male" voice.  If you listen to her interviews, it is quite disconcerting, at first, to hear this masculine voice come out of this beautiful woman.
