A bodybuilding father has transformed himself into a glamorous woman after struggling with his gender for years.
Transgender Chrisie Edkins, 31, had spent hours in the gym - bulking up to 16stone - in an attempt to convince himself he was a typical alpha male.
But in private, Chris, who is 6ft, had been dressing as a woman for years - and in 2003, bravely decided to go public with his new identity and become Chrisie.
look like example of successful transition
It's a shame that "glamorous" seems to be a requirement for positive news coverage, though. Still, I'm glad she's happier, and any positive coverage is positive!
Considering it is the Daily Mail, they would hardly have a "fat ugly accountant is now a skinny ugly tea lady!" Surprised they didn't want her topless. ::)
I know, I know - "glamorous" is such a Mail word :). And she's pretty photogenic...
She's a great success story.
