Former Jethro Tull band member becomes a woman

SHERNA NOAH


A FORMER member of the Seventies rock band Jethro Tull has had a sex-change operation to become a woman.

David Palmer, 66, the band’s former keyboard player, has swapped his trademark beard for long blonde hair and make-up, and is now called Dee. She is recording her first solo album.

Palmer, once a soldier in the Royal Horse Guards, said that she had "felt like this since the age of three", but that it was only since the death of wife Margaret nine years ago that the feelings were pursued.

She added: "I want to be judged on my musical ability alone. It’s not just wimps who want to do this. To be a girl, it goes a lot deeper than that."

If you see their tour bus driving down the road with the signal light on for 20 miles , you know who's behind the the wheel :)

Thanks for the confirmation 80'sTrivia... I flipped when I heard the same report on the bone. That goes to show ya.. you just never know about people these days....

and now comes the gender jokes.. Very Good one Caligula... :laugh: :lol: :clap:

66 years old? Seems it would be easier/cheaper/less painful to just finish the life you began as a man. But then, I've never been in this situation, so I couldn't say how important a gender change would be to me at that age (or any age, since I like being a woman. ;) ).

If this is what he/she feels is necessary to be a happy and fulfilled human being, who are we to judge? ;) Maybe this is his journey....

Yeah I agree VJ... To each there own.... as I get olderI realize people are going to do what they feel best for themselves... I have become less critical on issues that pertain to individual issues in a persons life.... It is when that stuff starts affecting my life I start to get critical... which this certainly does not.
