Oh Noessss! (http://www.thisisyork.co.uk/display.var.1254845.0.disgraced_consultant_haslam_admits_he_used_to_enjoy_dressing_as_a_woman.php)

FORMER York psychiatrist Michael Haslam has revealed how he once liked to dress up in women's clothing - and even gave himself the pseudonym Victoria.

The disgraced consultant, who served three years for indecently assaulting former patients, was speaking frankly in his autobiography Close To The Wind, in which he also continued to strongly protest his innocence of the criminal convictions.

He said he had occasionally tried on women's clothing as a teenager and enjoyed the experience. He said he had had a continuing interest in gender issues, and had the opportunity through contacts at the Gender Trust to "experiment a little myself in the other role, which I much enjoyed".
