Sex swap teenager to enter Miss England contest

A TEENAGE transsexual has become the first sex swap patient to enter the Miss England beauty pageant.

Jackie Green became the UK's youngest transsexual after an op in Thailand on her 16th birthday.

The 18-year-old — who was born Jack but lived as a girl since age ten — was asked to enter by modelling scouts who had no idea of her history.

The aspiring model, from Leeds, hopes to use the opportunity to speak out about bullying and transgender issues.

She said: "I went to the Britain's Next Top Model show in London and was really surprised when scouts came up to me. Miss England is a prestigious competition. I'd love to win. I've as good a chance as anyone."

Jackie wanted to switch gender from the age of four. By ten she had long hair and wore a girl's uniform to school.

At 12 mum Susie, 43, took her to a US clinic for hormone treatment to stop her male puberty. The divorced IT manager then re-mortgaged her house to fund Jackie's £28,000 sex change op.

Bullying led her to attempt suicide five times. She said: "I can never thank my mum enough, she saved my life."

She is in the Miss Fresh Photographic round of the contest where public votes decide who makes the semi-finals.

What do you think here? What are her chances of winning the contest? Should transsexuals have their own beauty contest?

Being the first transsexual to enter the Miss England beauty pageant and in addition to being a teenager I think Jackie Green has high chances of going a long way but I don't actually see her winning the beauty pageant.

I think that transsexuals should have their own contests IMO...Not quite sure they can win, but you never know in a regular pageant.

There's been quite a hulabaloo over Jenna Talakova, in the Miss Universe Canada pageant. She used to be a he.

You really cannot trust anyone's gender these days.

But really, she doesn't look like a he.

Well you could have fooled me, on face value, i would say she was born a woman. By the same token, you have women that could pass as blokes, a funny old world innit.

It could be some men's dream to have a beautiful woman on their arm that can discuss football or engines etc at length with him/her.

[starlight07]

Hehe, imagine a man taking a woman out on a date and even sleeps with her yet doesn't ever find out that she used to be a he.

[dom]

That's wicked.

It is amusing - the shock horror expressions - lol - you should watch Jerry springer then. Or Maury and shows like that.

There was one guy that was flabbergasted that he had sex with a woman (many times) and he didn't realise that she used to be a man. It was confession time on Jerry Springer.

Its really up to the one who has had the sex change, to tell the other person.
Dont you think ?

There was even a Bond girl who used to be a bloke. Very convincing and very beautiful.

I totally agree but there may lie a fear of being rejected too.

but there may lie a fear of being rejected too.

I think it would be better to be straight ( no pun intended) in the first instance to save on aggro later. I imagine most heterosexual males or females would not be best pleased to find out later.

Hi Dom,

I also think the same here that one oughta be honest in their relationship and come out clean from the start - especially about their gender or previous gender. Yes, not many heterosexuals shall be pleased. Should this act of avoiding the truth constitute as cheating?

As for being straight - some people have felt being in the wrong body - you know born to be in another person's body or not being of the right sex. Is it genetics solely responsible with transgenders then I don't know - environment can play a part too. Can we assume such a similar position or feeling with homosexuals, i.e. that they cannot help but love someone of the same gender?

I did hear of one case where one woman became a man - naturally too. Not sure how accurate that is.

All i can say is " there by the grace of god go i " it can't be easy being trapped in a body you cant relate to and reject wholly. There are bound to be allsorts of genetic abnormalities that come about in the human reproductive system. Just like they do in our animal cousins too.

Men worry that if they have had physical contact with one of these girls it makes them gay....but thats not the case, they are attracted to them because of their femininty and their presentation as a female......not a male.

You shouldnt lead someone along though and I could imagine a man would be very uoset if the woman of his dreams turned out to be a tranny...and everyone knew except him.
