East Sussex pensioner to have sex change op
A 78-year-old from East Sussex is set to become the oldest person to have a sex change operation on the NHS.
Ruth Rose, from Newhaven, has spent most of her life as James, a former RAF navigator, and said she has dreamed of being female since she was a child.
Ms Rose has been living as a woman for about three years, and has changed her name by deed poll.
She said her ex-wife and children had not reacted well to the news and it had been difficult for her family.
She said: "They are critical of it and would rather it hadn't happened. It concerns them.
"Naturally children like to feel that they have a dad and he's still there - well I'm still there, but it's not dad any more."
