QuoteNOELEENA Lochhead feels like she has been let out of an asylum.

It has been 18 months since the 61-year-old transformed from Noel to Noeleena. The Waimate woman had a sex change operation in Thailand in May last year a decision she has never regretted.

"I have never had any regrets. I feel more at peace and feel I am free," she said.

"I use the analogy that I have been let out of the asylum. I climbed over the fence and ran and ran and I am never going back to the asylum because I had been inside for 50 years."
