Seven years after becoming a woman, Charles realised he’d made a massive mistake.
Ladies’ man Charles Kane never fails to charm women. The sporty multi-millionaire property developer, who owns a luxury home and a yacht, seems to tick all the right boxes. However, his secret past means he’s struggling to find true love.
Charles was born a man, but underwent sex-change surgery to become a woman. Incredibly, seven years later, he realised he’d made a mistake — and now, after spending more than $200,000 on painful operations, Charles has made history by becoming the first person in the UK to have two sex changes, and now lives as a man again.
A lonely journey
But Charles reveals he still hasn’t found happiness and is desperate to settle down with a woman.
“When I tell women about my past, it puts them off,” admits 48-year-old Charles. “I’d make the perfect boyfriend, because I can really understand women — I used to be one — but I struggle with relationships.”
Born Sam Hashimi, Charles married in 1985. He and his wife had two children, but she left him for another man 12 years later. Feeling lonely, Charles — who’d experimented with his sexuality before marrying — began visiting gay clubs.
