In the 1980s a one Sam Hashimi, a powerful investment fund type, had a sex-change procedure to become "glamorous interior designer Samantha Kane," a woman so convincing he says he had no problem attracting men. I use the pronoun "he," because Samantha is now Charles Kane. Yes, he's had two gender reassignment procedures, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to switch genders twice. And he now believes the entire practice should be outlawed.

"I feel very philosophical, rather than bitter about what happened to me," says Charles. "Based on my own experiences, I believe sex-change operations should not be allowed, and certainly not on the NHS. People who think they are a woman trapped in a male body are, in my opinion, completely deluded. I certainly was. I needed counselling, not a sex-change operation. In many ways I see myself a victim of the medical profession. Even with the glamour of Samantha Kane and the £100,000 I spent on myself, I had people shouting abuse at me and builders throwing stones at me from rooftops. I became a woman. It didn't work for me. I changed my mind. "
