This is the height of confusion!! A transsexual who had a £10,000 sex change on the NHS to become a woman now wants the taxpayers to foot the bill for a further £14,000 of surgery so she can become a man again. DailyMail reports that, 30 year old Chelsea Attonley, who was born male and called Matthew, said she now finds being a woman ‘exhausting’, as she is tired of putting on make-up and wearing heels, and now accepts that she should always have stayed a man.
Chelsea said she had struggled with her identity while growing and as a child she would dress up in women’s clothes. In her twenties she became a drag queen known as Miss Malibu, drawing on glamour model Katie Price’s look for inspiration. An initial bid for a sex change to become a woman was turned down by a doctor, sending Chelsea into a spiral of depression. Here’s what she had to say about her problem: Continue reading
‘It is exhausting putting on make-up and wearing heels all the time. Even then I don’t feel I look like a proper woman.I suffered from depression and anxiety as a result of the hormones too.I have realised it would be easier to stop fighting the way I look naturally and accept that I was born a man physically.’
I need to have these operations for the sake of my mental health. I am lucky enough to live in a country where there is free health care.
Now I have decided I want to live as Matthew, I am desperate to have my FF-cup boobs removed. I can’t afford to have them done privately, so I am hoping to have the op on the NHS. I can’t work at the moment because I am too upset after what I have been through. I am considering having penis reconstruction too. I don’t feel bad about the NHS paying for the surgery as I don’t consider it a choice.Chelsea, who changed her name by deed poll from Matthew in 2008 after a £5,000 boob job in Thailand partly funded by benefit money, says she gradually began having doubts about the sex change.She said:
‘I thought the surgery would make me feel complete, but it didn’t. I knew deep down that, even though I had had surgery, I had still been born a man.But I tried my best to block out my feelings.’
Chelsea said living as a woman is exhausting:
‘No matter how much make-up I put on or how I dressed, I knew people would not know me as a real woman.
