A BRITISH man is begging medical experts for help after he started turning into a woman.

Pub singer Terry Wright, 60, said children in his Birmingham neighbourhood had started taunting him with shouts of “she-man” after he started losing his beard and hair and began developing breasts and smooth skin about 10 years ago, The Sun newspaper reported.

“I am a man, not a woman. And I do not want to be a woman. I just want to get my life back to normal,” Mr Wright told the paper.

Blood tests showed the father of five had abnormally high levels of the female hormone estrogen but his doctors said they had never seen such a case and did not know how to treat him.

“Doctors call me an ‘interesting case’ and ‘unique’ but I just want to go back to being a proper man,” Mr Wright said.

“I get mocked by kids where I live who call me she-man and other names. Once a child bumped into me and its mother said, ‘Say sorry to the lady.’ My mates are shocked at my appearance but try to make light of it by saying I’m just a pretty-looking man.”

Specialist Professor Richard Ross said: “This case seems very unusual.”

When the party of six, four golfers and two caddies, reached the 16th tee shortly after 11 a.m. a lone gunman emerged from nearby woods and said, “Give me your money,” according to police.

Armed with a handgun and covering his face with a mask, the gunman robbed two of the golfers and one of the caddies before fleeing into the woods at the club, located at 6200 W. Good Hope Road.

Officials at the club said the foursome finished their round of golf following the incident. And no one at the club cancelled tee times either yesterday or today.

The club did send a statement about the robbery to its members saying no one was harmed. The club’s management and members are working closely with the Milwaukee Police Department to identify and apprehend the suspect.

“We are disturbed by the situation that has unfolded today, but relieved that no one was injured,” read the notice to club members on Saturday. “The incident was an unusual occurrence at our club. Brynwood Country Club has a nearly 80-year history as one of the most prestigious country clubs in the Midwest.”

The note went on to say that, “beginning with the first tee time (Sunday), we will have a security detail on the course to discourage anyone to enter the course. As an additional safety measure, we would request that all golfers carry their cell phones on the course and immediately report any suspicious activity to the receptionist.”

The man appealed after a state district judge in Bernalillo County refused his request to change his name to “Fuck Censorship!”

Judge Nan Nash ruled that the proposed name change was “obscene, offensive and would not comport with common decency”.

The man - whose current legal name is Variable - argued on appeal that it was improper government censorship to deny him the name change.

Marquita Cherrell Armstrong was a passenger in a car driven by Jeffery Dawayne Watson Tuesday when the two got into an argument on I-10 near Tallahassee. State troopers say Armstrong told Watson that she wanted to get out, but Watson refused to pull over in a construction zone. That’s when Armstrong opened the car door and jumped out.

Armstrong was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

A 26-year-old man, his 19-year-old girlfriend Rhea Schroeder and his 24-year-old brother Jacob Reinitz, who live in the North Sacramento area, had been drinking and decided at about 1:30 a.m. to climb into a storm drain in the Florin Road area, said Sacramento Police Lt. Mike Bray.

“Apparently they had done this as kids and wanted to relive their youthful experiences and try it again,” he said.

Police did not release the name of the injured man.

Bray said the threesome crawled into the large drain through a manhole on the east side of the railroad tracks, near Luther Burbank High School.

After walking about 200 yards in the drain, they decided to come up. But when the older brother climbed atop Reinitz and attempted to lift the manhole cover – which was located in the middle of the street – a passing car struck him, Bray said.

“His head was either pinched with the manhole cover against the side of the road, or the tire struck him,” Bray said. “We’re not completely certain about the sequence of events.”

The man fell back into the hole.

Police were called to the scene by the motorist, who had a flat tire.

Fire crews were then called out to help extricate the trio. Firefighters had to use heavy equipment to get the three out of the drain.

“Kind of like pulling a kid out of a well,” Bray said.

The 26-year-old, whose name was not released, suffered a skull fracture and was taken to UC Davis Medical Center, where he was in critical condition.

Reinitz and Schroeder were arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public and are being held in Sacramento County jail.
