'I sold my house to buy a female face': Transgender woman, 56, sells home to pay for £15,000 'feminisation' surgeryRUTH STYLES, October 2, 2013, 06:24 EST
A transgender woman unhappy with her masculine features has revealed that she sold her house in order to finance a £15,000 surgical makeover.
Jenny Bowman, 56, had been left frustrated by the size of her nose and masculine jawline before discovering a procedure called facial feminisation surgery after an online search.
The operation, which softens and feminises the features, isn't available on the NHS but fed up with her masculine looks, she took the dramatic step of putting her house on the market to pay for it.
After selling her three bedroom, semi-detached Cambridge home, Jenny underwent extensive surgery to reshape her nose, forehead and jawline.
