Jasmine Goode last night boasted: "I'm living the dream."
She got the pricey NHS treatment while serving an 11-year sentence for burglary.
The lag began taking hormone tablets behind bars and changed her name from Darren.
Jasmine, 37, said: "The NHS was generous. I've been able to get the body I've always wanted.
"It's not wrong that I was given help. The NHS wastes money helping sick people who are going to die soon whereas I've got a lot of years left."
Darren, from north Wales, was born "intersex", meaning he had male genitals and visible but unformed female ones.

"...wastes money helping people who are going to die soon."? Glad she is in jail and not in politics.
