A man who had a sex swap is set to become the UK's first transgender mayor - and his mayoress has had a sex change too.

Liberal Democrat Jenny Bailey, 45, who underwent a sex change operation when she was in her 30s, is likely to be sworn in as the civic leader of Cambridge City Council at a ceremony tomorrow.

Her partner, Jennifer Liddle, 49, who also underwent a sex swap and is a former councillor, will be mayoress.

I had to reread that several times to make sure it was in the UK. I think thats fantastic, though you gotta love the media's phraseology haven't you (!) They make it sound like taking jeans back to the shop cause they don't fit   ;)
