A TRANSGENDER woman has spoken of her joy at becoming the oldest person in Britain to have surgery.
Ruth Rose, 85, had a reassignment op four years ago after her doctor told her she could be considered for the full procedure.
She has defended the £4,000 cost of the surgery by sitting on an NHS advisory board and volunteering for charities that support old people.
Ruth told the BBC: “It is only in the past 15 years that this has become acceptable. Before that people thought it was just for freaks.”
Ruth had the surgery after living as a woman for several years.
She had been known as James Rose, an ex-RAF navigator, mechanical engineer and financial consultant.

No, Ruth. Most sane people continue to believe that it is just for freaks.
I like p*ssy as much as the next guy, but I never considered having one installed.
Insane waste of money.
Of course, he didn’t “become a woman”.
I miss the days when someone getting past having been fired for saying booger on the radio (Johnny Fever) could be a feature plot point in a truly funny comedy.
You know, back before bat **** crazy was just like another day at the office.
They paid for this, (and I’m pretty sure that £4,000 figure is only the tip of the iceberg) but they won’t spend money on elderly who need cardiac or cancer care, will they?
Life expectency in Brittian must be pretty low.
But they don’t have money for life saving surgery for much younger people. Talk about screwed up priorities. Coming to a hospital near you if we ever go full socialist health care.
Please God, no pictures.
Changed its name from Dick to Dickless.
“...that wasn’t so bad, but, the part where they removed half of my brain? THAT was painful!”
They list 3 different careers for him, but yet the defenseless taxpayers fund cutting off his geriatric wank_r.
Pay for it yourself, and your mental healthcare!
That’s perfect.
In February the NHS cancelled thousands of surgeries because they asserted that the system was overwhelmed and was creating third world conditions inside their hospitals.
BUT
They do have the resources to do a gender reassignment surgery for an 81 year old person. How many thousands of British citizens were denied their universal free health care so that this bogus surgery could happen?
Thanks...didn’t read the details - just decided decided to throw their crap back them - specifically, if they have no future ‘value’ to ‘society’, then they’re not worth spending any money to allow them to live more years as dignified human beings...per their socialized medicine system.
Teddy Brewster thought he was Teddy Roosevelt but that doesn’t make it so. It used to be called mental illness.
Made 81 years in life before he condemned himself to hell. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I hate to inform him...
He’s getting it all back in the end.
