A former coal miner who spent half a century secretly dressing as a woman has 'come out' as Britain's oldest transsexual.

In a new clinical practice guideline unveiled today, the Endocrine Society tackled some of the most ethically sensitive decisions endocrinologists face in the treatment of those who are born of one gender, but identify themselves strongly with the opposite gender.
