SHE lived as a woman, looked like a woman and turned up to get her passport dressed in fuschia jacket, skirt and heels.

But Stefanie Imbruglia, on her way to Thailand for her final sex-change surgery, was devastated when the passport officer insisted on calling her "sir" and made her list her sex as male on her new passport.
