A transgender woman from Italy who hid her desire to change sex for 40 years says she's spent £52,000 trying to achieve the perfect female body since coming out.
Fulvia Pellegrino, 56, from the small town of Peveragno, has undergone a series of gruelling procedures to achieve her current look including more than 150 lip and cheekbone fillers, four breast implants and two rounds of liposuction.
Pellegrino, who was born with the name Fulvio and has the full support of her wife Marisa, has also spent nearly £9,000 on surgery on her bottom and is now planning even more.
Marisa admits that while she's standing by her husband, the pair are now more like sisters than a married couple.
Fulvia said: 'I am not happy with my 'perfect' body, because it is not perfect. Perfection is something else.'
Fulvia was just fifteen years old when she first realised she was transgender but fearful of her strict religious family, and her father who was in the clergy, Fulvia kept her feelings a secret.
She explains: 'I was living with my family who were very narrow minded and very religious. I never manifested my will because it was impossible with my dad. He had three sons and he wanted three sons only.'
The troubled youngster kept her torment hidden even when she met Marisa, 32 years ago.
Soon after they were wed, Fulvia began visiting gay clubs and cross-dressing in private in her garage.
She said: 'I was feeling trapped in my body. I hid in the garage and put make-up on dressed like a woman. I never showed that side of me because I was ashamed of it.'
......
That is some bad surgery.
, the lips are just the worst
