Sex change operation: The Turkish woman is having the costly treatment on the NHS
A Turkish transsexual woman who claimed UK asylum will have more than £60,000 of NHS surgery to become a man called Dennis, it has been claimed.
The 33-year-old won the right to become a British resident after fleeing from her Muslim homeland in 2002, claiming she was being persecuted.
Taxpayer cash will now fund her gender-reassignment programme.

A TURKISH transsexual woman granted UK asylum is having at least £60,000-worth of NHS surgery to become a man called Dennis.
The 33-year-old fled to Britain in 2002 claiming she was being persecuted in her Muslim homeland.
She has now won the right to become a UK resident - and taxpayers' cash will fund her gender-reassignment programme. Identified only as G.O, she was born female but will get a prosthetic penis. Her breasts have been removed and she told friends she wants the name Dennis.
Why is this even news, and why are they using female pronouns to refer to him?
