The beauty queen who was born a boy: Transgender model, 21, set for pageant success after choosing to live as a woman

Dani St James, 21, from Barry, South Wales, was born Daniel and has been transitioning to become a woman over the last three years. She hopes her entry in the beauty contest Miss Diamond Queen 2013, will inspire others to be proud of their sexuality. Dani, a manager at a nightclub in Camden, admits that while she didn't leave her male life behind until she was 18, the transition from man to woman began at an early age.
