Dad-of-two driver changes gear in sex swap

The lorry driver left workmates stunned when he revealed his sex swap - but insists they are supportive.

He said: "Lorry driving is a man's world. But I haven't had a single negative comment." Dad-of-two Nigel, 45, takes hormone pills to give him boobs and uses electrolysis on facial hair. He replaced his crew cut with a red bob.

What is it about tabloids, the SUN especially, that seems to delight in finding stories of transitioning people?  They seem to have more of a bend toward the MTF's instead of FTM's but it really seems to be wearing a bit thin in my opinion.

I know it has everything to do with circulation and not news, the SUN especially, but still.  Couldn't they pick on Madonna or something else after all this time?

The Sun is a 'paper' and I use the term loosely, That prints anything that it feels is different or sensational. If there is no news then it makes it up.

The main reason is has a readership is most of the stories are not much more than 1 or 2 paragraphs due to attention spans and page 3 for the boobs
