A 16-year-old British boy is set to make medical history by becoming Britain's youngest post-operative transgendered person.

Bradley Cooper has been dressing as a girl since he was 12 and now calls himself Ria.

He told the Britain's News of the World newspaper "People might think I'm too young to make such a huge decision but I know my own mind and this is what I want.

"I've known for years I'm a woman. I think and act like a woman, not a man. In my mind I'm a woman, so all I need now is the operation."

Trainee hairdresser Bradley has been told the surgery to give him breasts and change his genitalia from male to female should happen within 18 months. The £10,000 procedure will be funded by his local NHS trust in Hull, East Yorks.
