Sex change operation: The Turkish woman is having the costly treatment on the NHS

A Turkish transsexual woman who claimed UK asylum will have more than £60,000 of NHS surgery to become a man called Dennis, it has been claimed.

The 33-year-old won the right to become a British resident after fleeing from her Muslim homeland in 2002, claiming she was being persecuted.

Taxpayer cash will now fund her gender-reassignment programme.

A TURKISH transsexual woman granted UK asylum is having at least £60,000-worth of NHS surgery to become a man called Dennis.

The 33-year-old fled to Britain in 2002 claiming she was being persecuted in her Muslim homeland.

She has now won the right to become a UK resident - and taxpayers' cash will fund her gender-reassignment programme. Identified only as G.O, she was born female but will get a prosthetic penis. Her breasts have been removed and she told friends she wants the name Dennis.
