Man who became woman after 8 years of marriage ditches new life in 7 months
While James Cohen told his wife Eirian last year he wanted to become woman, he has since then ditched his blonde wig for a beard.
In a bizarre case, a married dad-of-two who transitioned to a woman after eight years of marriage went back to living as a man seven months later.
According to reports 36-year-old James Cohen told his wife Eirian last year that he wanted to become a woman and wanted to be known as Kara.
Apparently he had always seen himself as a woman inside.
But now he has ditched the high heels and blonde wig — and has even grown a beard as he returned to manhood.
Eirian who split with James after his transitions but lives with him and her new partner in Portugal, said his decision to change back "was a shock".
She said that when they were still a couple they had "forked out privately for him to have hormone treatment straight away".
But She said in July "Jim stopped wearing his blonde wig, dresses and heels and instead grew a beard".
Eirian, also 36, added: "I have done nothing but support Jim from the start and despite being confused myself at first, I have accepted his recent transition and have started calling him Jim.
"Jim is now the happiest he has ever been, he has no regrets about transitioning into a woman and feels lighter for having explored his feminine side after keeping it repressed for all those years.
She went on to explain that even their daughters accepted that their daddy was turning a woman.
The pair have recently moved back in together and are bringing the girls up with her new partner.
Eirian and James, from Leeds, eloped to Jamaica in 2009 and got married.
The mum of two claims that although her and her husband had a loving and fun relationship – she always knew there was something that James wasn’t admitting.
