A transgender One Direction fan has revealed plans to have a sex change to become a man, after being continually mistaken for boyband star, Harry Styles.
The 20-year-old fan Catrina Best, born in Ireland but now living in Portugal, is said to have spent thousands on trying to look like the former X Factor star and after being diagnosed as transgender is now taking hormone therapy and saving for a sex change operation. Best reveals her intentions to have a sex change to look like Styles in the new issue of Closer magazine.
"Dressing as Harry made me feel confident, so I copied his hair too," she tells the magazine. "I spend 30 minutes every day perfecting the 'Harry look'."
"People say my bone structure, eyes and lips are almost identical to Harry's, and I’ve been asked for autographs," she adds. "I haven't started dating yet, but girls flirt with me and I even get chatted up by older women, like Harry does!"
Harry Styles this week (20 November) met comedian Ronnie Corbet
Best adds that she has been aware of her gender issues since the age of five but in her early teens realised she wanted to have a sex change.
"I later realised I wanted to be with girls – but as the male in a straight relationship."
One Direction are currently enjoying scoring a chart double in the UK, after their Ed Sheeran-penned single 'Little Things' hit the top spot in the singles chart on the same week their album Take Me Home topped the album charts.
