MEP Nikki Sinclaire Reveals She Had A Sex Change At The Age Of 23!
A member of the European Parliament has revealed she had a sex change at the age of 23.
MEP Nikki Sinclaire said she made the decision to undergo surgery over 20 years ago because if she hadn’t she ‘would have led a lonely, neurotic life, forever out of place’.
The politician was a member of Ukip, as party secretary, until a falling out with leader Nigel Farage led to her resignation.
She has since founded a new party, the single-issue We Demand A Referendum, campaigning for the British public to have the right to decide on EU membership.
In a candid interview with The Sun, Ms Sinclaire revealed how she first realised she should have been female at the age of three.
‘It sounds weird, but I knew something was wrong even then — I’ve always felt I was in the wrong body. I remember dressing up as a girl on my first day of school. It then started to happen every day. The other kids knew I was different,’ she said.
Many turbulent years followed as Ms Sinclaire was told she would not be able to undergo gender reassignment until she turned 21.
She said she used sex and clubbing as a ‘crutch’ throughout those interim years and also suffered an estranged relationship with her parents after disclosing her true feelings to them.
She began hormone replacement treatment before undergoing the surgery which she says almost killed her.
‘After the operation I developed deep vein thrombosis and was immobile for nearly a year,’ she said.
‘I suffered from depression, was on 21 different tablets and felt like I wasn’t in control of my own life.
‘Gender re-assignment surgery nearly killed me — but it was something I had to do.
‘If I hadn’t become a woman I would have led a lonely, neurotic life, forever out of place, endlessly consulting doctors and therapists at public expense. As it is I have become a happy, fulfilled achiever and I have repaid, in tax, the cost of my NHS operation many times over.
