A “heartbroken” boyfriend has spoken out and revealed he dumped his girlfriend after finding out she was actually born male and tried to hide that fact from him for nine months.
20-year-old Alex instantly clicked with a woman five years his senior after the two first saw each other. Following months of an intimate relationship, however, the man was shocked to find out that his lover was actually born male.
After a mutual friend warned Alex about his partner’s past, the 20-year-old confronted his lover and dumped her on the spot.
“Everything was going well, everything was great, well I thought anyway,” the upset boyfriend told radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O.
“A mutual friend of ours, he’d been family friends of ours for years, since I was little. And what happened was, we were out one night, I came home with him, he was a bit drunk and he told me: ‘Look Alex, now I’ve been hiding something from you and so is your girlfriend. I think you need to know because I think it’s wrong and I can’t leave you thinking that this is a great, honest relationship.’”
As Alex then found out, his girlfriend was born male and had undergone a gender change when she was 18 years old.
“When I found out, honestly I dropped, I didn’t believe him at first, it was mixed emotions, then I still didn’t believe him,” Alex added.
“So when I confronted her, I actually found her pills, I found her estrogen tablets… I just dropped, I felt cold, I felt angry, there was many emotions in one go.”
As the deceived boyfriend added, he was in love with the girl but would never willingly date a transgender woman.
“I didn’t feel anything different. It felt like normal sex. When I confronted her, she was crying, she didn’t know what to say,” he added.
“But when you’re in a relationship, you think you could have trust, and at the start of the relationship, she should’ve been upfront and told me.
“You’ve got to have that trust at the start but to not even say anything, give me at least some sort of known of the past but nothing like that was said.
“It makes me feel sick. I’m still heartbroken. I feel deceived… I think that’s a big lie for me, just sort of fake who you were and to not say that in the beginning.”
Weeks after the end of their relationship, Alex admitted he was still angry at his ex-girlfriend and his friend who kept the secret from him.
“I haven’t spoken to him, I’m still angry at him – I haven’t spoken to both,” Alex revealed.
“I just honestly need time away to think. I’ve been having time out from everything. I miss her a little bit. I just don’t know.”

12-Year-Old Girl Is In A COMA After Vaping ‘Weakened’ Her Lungs
A young girl was left fighting for her life after vaping ruined her chances of recovering from a life-threatening infection.
12-year-old Sarah Griffin is an asthma sufferer who ended up in a coma after suffering an infection and being unable to fight it as a result of her lungs being weakened by vaping.
The girl’s shocked mother revealed that the child was rushed to the ER after struggling to breathe. Doctors found that her oxygen levels were extremely low, and they put her in an induced coma to help her body battle her lung infection.
The girl has since been discharged from the hospital and is recovering at home after her near-death experience.
“The doctors explained if Sarah had not been vaping, she would have been in a better position to fight off the infection,” her mother, Mary, said.
“The doctors said if Sarah had have got to the hospital any later the outcome would have been entirely different. That is something I can’t even think about.”
Recalling the time her daughter was hospitalized following struggles breathing, the devastated mom added:
“There were tubes, wires, and machines everywhere — it was heartbreaking to see her like that. As her mum I just felt so helpless. It was a nightmare come true. Sarah has an older brother and two younger siblings and trying to explain to them what was happening was awful.
“They were asking if she was going to die, and I was saying, ‘Of course not,’ but in my mind I was terrified that was a real possibility.”
Sarah’s family has since spoken out and vowed to push for a change in legislation that would see young children protected from vaping devices which can be both across the UK for as little as $5 a piece. Some gadgets are also being advertised or disguised as kid-friendly and sold next to sweets.
“The biggest misunderstanding about vapes is that they are harmless compared to cigarettes,” Fidelma Carter of the Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke said.
“This is not true, and this message needs to change to prevent more young people from taking up and getting addicted to vaping because they think they are risk-free.
“The long-term health implications are unknown – just as they once were with tobacco.”
