Terry Wright, 60, is turning into a woman due to abnormally high levels of the female hormone oestrogen. Medical experts are intrigued by the unique case, but are unable to explain or reverse the sexual transformation.
About ten years ago, Wright, who has five children and works as a pub singer in Birmingham, noticed that he was losing his hair and beard. Since then, he has developed smooth skin and breasts and has complained about hot flushes. Wright, who has never doubted his male gender identity, has been wrongly suspected of secretly trying to change his sex and has been offered a sex change operation by his GP, which he refused.
Some intersex conditions are associated with involuntary and natural sexual transformations, but these changes usually take place during puberty. Mr Wright states: "Doctors call me an 'interesting case' and 'unique' but I just want to go back to being a proper man."

It is quite possible that he was born intersexed, and his doctors chose the male gender for him. Now that he is at the age a menopause his hormones are resisting that change.

This is almost ironic. In the news, one tends to hear more stories about men that want to become women because they feel uncomfortable in their bodies. Here is someone living a normal life that is completely comforable in their body, who is changing involuntarily into a woman. I feel for him. . .or her.

Proper man. Love that phrase.
He needs Dr. House. -
Wow, that is really tragic. What luck.

Are there any other studies that suggest this sort of phenomenon has occurred prior to this? I'm reluctant to believe that something like this would happen to late in life. Maybe he was born female but was given male hormones as a child and his body is now becoming resistant to the medicine. Just a thought.
