FIERCE: Meet The 23-year- old Transgender (Born Male) Who Wants To Be Miss World (PHOTOS)



Glamour model Amelia Maltepe, 23, has overcome
being bullied and has fought to win her strict,
Bangladeshi family’s acceptance.
Now she has set her sights on achieving a lifelong
dream of winning Miss World – even though she
was born male.

Now the business accounting student, who lives with
personal trainer boyfriend Charles Dubuc, 27, has her
eyes set on the world’s most famous beauty
pageant.
Amelia, raised as Adesh, said: “To be become a
Miss World is one of my biggest dreams. Growing up
I always felt that I was trapped in the wrong body
and the idea of changing gender was never an
option. Now I feel like if I believe in God and myself I
can achieve anything I put my mind to.”
After moving to Toronto in 2009 to study, Amelia
says her eyes were opened to the possibility of
transformation.
She said: “It was the first time I realised you could
use surgery and medicine to change your birth
gender. It was an amazing moment and I felt like I
could finally be the person I always was.”
After beginning a course of hormones to alter her
body, Amelia opted for breast implants two months
later. And since spending £6,000 on her breasts and
£2,000 on laser hair removal, Amelia has appeared
in sexy glamour shoots in the hope of making it in
the modelling world.
