This is far from a new story. In fact it is from 2010 but it bears revisiting.
It actually came from "AsiaOne's" Diva site for women and features Ms Chelsey Mikimoto who was born in Singapore to a Malay-Dutch mother and a Chinese- Japanese father.
She migrated with her family to Australia in the mid-90s at age 10.
Much of her story sounds familiar: "Although born biologically male, Ms Mikimoto said that she never identified with being one.
Growing up, she liked girlie things.
She dreamed of parading in beautiful gowns and experimented with her mother's make-up and clothes.
One Christmas, she placed her name on the Barbie doll meant for a female cousin.
She had visited a psychiatrist who diagnosed her with gender identity dysphoria - a condition in which individuals identify emotionally and psychologically with the other gender.
For five years before the surgery, she lived as a woman.
During that time, she underwent hormone replacement therapy to feminise her facial and bodily features.
Other than physical changes, she also took the time to "greatly reflect" on what it meant to have the gender change."
I haven't been able to find much recent information on her, so I hope all is well!
