Fernando Ñaupari Buendía was a born a man, but as he matured he decided to become a woman. After a series of surgeries he succeeded in as much as the Peruvian government recognized him as "Carmen Claudia." After years of living in Europe, he has returned to Peru and now wants his country's government to accept him as a man again.

"More than 25 years ago I changed my sex, I became the fifth transsexual in Peru," Ñaupari Buendía told Frecuencia Latina TV. "I was married in Europe and earned French nationality, but 14 years ago I found God, I talked to him.

"I never pictured myself dressed as a man, but God came and changed my life."
