A delivery driver who kept her “incredible desire to be female” secret for more than 60 years has transitioned at the age of 61. She now feels like she has been “reborn” after spending 120,000 Australian dollars (£68,000) on surgeries and treatments.
It hasn't been an easy path to happiness for Melanie Taylor. She thought marriage would “cure” her and even attempted to take her own life twice.
Now 65-year-old, Melanie, who lives in Penrith, Australia, said she knew she was “different to other boys”. At the age of five or six, she wished she could wear “frilly dresses” and have her “hair long and in ponytails”.
