http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/news/Transsexual-s-fight-visa/article-1558111-detail/article.htmlA TRANSSEXUAL woman married to a Derby man could face 20 years in jail if she is forced to return to her home country after being turned down for a visa.
Fatine Young, 36, who was born a man, has lived with her husband, school caretaker Ian Young, in Spondon for six months.
Ian first met her in a coffee shop in Malaysia and did not realise she was transsexual.
But despite Fatine's revelation and her refusal to have sex-change surgery, Ian says he is still in love and "can't contemplate his life without her''.
