Man begs doctors to stop his journey into womanhood

A British man is pleading with the medical community to help him regain his chemical, and visual, masculinity.

Father of five and pub singer Terry Wright, 60, has been slowly transforming from male to female for about ten years, baffling medical experts and prompting his doctor to offer him gender reassignment surgery. About ten years ago, his hair began to fall out, his skin became smooth and he began to develop breasts.

"I am a man, not a woman," Wright said. "And I do not want to be a woman."

At 5'4" and with a slim frame, Wright fields taunts of "She-man" from children, and is awkwardly supported by "shocked" friends.

The closest possible explanation thus far, according to The Sun, is that Wright's body tissues have become resistant to testosterone; blood tests have revealed that he has high levels of both testosterone and estrogen. Doctors have ruled out the hormone surge being caused by a tumor or hormone-blocking medication, and don't know how to proceed.

"This case seems very unusual," said University of Sheffield endocrinology specialist Professor Richard Ross to Telegraph.

"Doctors call me an 'interesting case' and 'unique'," Wright said, "but I just want to go back to being a proper man."
