Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za previously reported that 50-year-old Andrea Halliley came out as a transgender woman after her service in the US military, dumping the gender she was born with.

It should be noted that Andrea, who is also a parent of three children, divorced her partner sometime in 2015. Now as an openly-transgender woman in Durham and known as Andi, she works as a delivery driver.

“When I first came out to my (now ex) wife, I told her I was a crossdresser - I had never heard of the term ‘transgender’ before. My ex-wife did some research and told me about transgender people, and it was like a lightbulb moment, we both knew that’s what I really was,” he said.

She first got into the modelling world when she had multiple photoshoots. She said she cannot believe how her life took an interesting drive, Metro reports.

She also commented on the fact that her life has really changed since she identified with a new gender. Halliley added that she has always been a closet trans woman while putting a fake front as a facade in public.
