A TRANSGENDER teacher has been praised for putting her own complex problems behind her and helping to fight for minority rights and recognition.

Bea Groves was born as a man but decided to live as a woman around three years ago.

The 54-year-old teacher, of Cullercoats, North Tyneside, said she struggled with gender issues throughout her teens and went through bouts of depression as she found it difficult to fit in with the world around her.
