As she natters over cups of tea with other ladies in the village, Donna Smith looks just like any other ­pensioner.

But until five years ago, Donna, 74, was a man called Donald.

Then in 2006, at the age of 69, she became the oldest person in the UK to undergo a full sex-change operation.

"Some people might wonder why I­ bothered to go through such a major operation at such a late age," she says in her first-ever ­interview. "But knowing I will die as a proper woman has come as a huge ­relief."
