AN inquiry has been launched at a Jobcentre after a sex-change patient was allegedly told she should dress as a man to improve her chances of finding work.
Andrew Cook, 54, who worked in the construction industry all his adult life, felt he was trapped in the wrong body from the age of six.
Last February, after decades of cross-dressing, he began gender realignment treatment and is now in the process of becoming Tina Cook.
