Many little girls dream of growing up to be someone like Jackie Green. An aspiring model, the 19-year-old's cascading chestnut hair, porcelain complexion and aquiline nose are reminiscent of a  pre-Raphaelite muse, or maybe one of the Downton actresses.

Today, the former Miss England finalist is dressed in this season's Seventies-style prints and a statement necklace. 'Topshop,' she smiles when I ask about the designer.

Her adoring boyfriend of two years, also 19, is with her when we meet at a gastropub in North  London – and she exudes confidence, which no doubt helps in her job as a hostess at the Burberry store in Bond Street. Yet the road to becoming the self-assured young woman she is today has not been easy – for Jackie was born male.

London, November 4 (ANI): Former Miss England finalist Jackie Green, who now exudes confidence, has endured a lot to become the self-assured young woman she is today for she was born male, it has been revealed.

Aged just four, and then named Jack, Jackie told her mother Susan "God has made a mistake, I should be a girl."

Trapped in a body she hated, Jackie first overdosed aged 11 and made six more suicide attempts before she was 15. Medicines were locked in a safe and knives had to be hidden away. She threatened to mutilate her genitals.

So, Jackie Green became the youngest person in the world to undergo transgender surgery at the age of 16.

Hmmm . . . I really can't see why this is newsworthy.  Just another "Hey, look at the ->-bleeped-<-!" story.

Besides, pop singer Kim Petras had her GRS at age 16, and 3 months after her 16th birthday she released a statement to the effect that it was a completed surgery.  I'm happy for Jackie Green, but if she is the youngest it's only by a matter of weeks.

And why is this significant?

At a guess, I suppose the Daily Main needs to position itself for nasty some story it has planned on a similar subject.

My first thought was "don't they say that about every girl who has SRS at 16?".

Apologies to any who may have found my response unnecessarily cynical.

Just love Trista's.
