A transgender woman has undergone a 'dramatic transformation' after finally transitioning at almost 70-years-old following a lifetime of considering suicide every day as she tried to hide her true identity.
Phillis Rolli, 69, who worked as a successful hairdresser for 45 years, says she knew she should have been a woman at the age of five and now says "it's never too late to be happy".
The retired hairdresser, who now lives in Seattle, USA, says she quashed her feelings after her father once caught her trying on girls' clothing and "got very physical" with her, making her understand that "this was a very bad thing to ever tell anybody".
