FROM a young age Andrew Millington knew he was not meant to be a man.

Growing up, young Andrew used to dress in his sister's clothes, but it took many years to summon up the courage to embark on gender reassignment and become Rachel.

Now 24, she says she is much happier, but is devastated by the abuse she has suffered since her decision.

"People sometimes hang out the window and shout swear words at me," said Miss Millington who lives in Thurlby Crescent in Lincoln's Ermine estate.
