'I'm having a sex change to look like Harry Styles': Transgender girl says 1D heartthrob is "perfect boy" 

 

Catrina Best, 20, already dresses like the popstar and often gets mistaken for him on the street with her curly dark hair, which she spends half an hour perfecting every morning

Lookalike: Catrina dresses like Harry and spends 30 minutes copying his hair

A 20-year-old student is undergoing sex-change surgery to look like her hero Harry Styles.

Catrina Best, who has been diagnosed as transgender, believes the One Direction heartthrob is the “perfect” man and hopes to look like him when she becomes a boy.

She already dresses like the popstar and often gets mistaken for him on the street with her curly dark hair, which she spends half an hour perfecting every morning.

"Perfect boy": Catrina wants to look like Harry when she has her sex swap surgery  

Speaking to Closer Magazine, Catrina said: “Harry’s the perfect boy and I think I’m a good lookalike. I love the attention I get from girls!
“People say my bone structure, eyes and lips are almost identical to Harry’s, and I’ve been asked for autographs.

“I haven’t started dating yet, but girls flirt with me and I even get chatted up by older women, like Harry does! But I want to have my op before I date.”

Feminine: Catrina knew she was different when she hated her long hair and dresses

Law-student Catrina, who already binds her 32D breasts, is saving for the surgery and plans to start taking hormones next year to trigger facial and body hair growth and deepen her voice.

Catrina, who was born in Northern Ireland but moved to Lisbon with her family aged 11, started to feel different at the age of five when she hated her long hair and begged to wear trousers instead of dresses.
When she hit puberty at 13, Catrina became even more confused about her sexuality and chose to hide her breasts in tight vests and cut her hair short, which caused her to be bullied for looking different.

She told Closer: “I didn’t fancy boys, but felt confused. At 16, I slept with a boy to try to feel ‘normal,’ but it left me numb.

“I later realised I wanted to be with girls – but as the male in a straight relationship.”

 

Catrina was relieved when she was finally diagnosed with gender identity disorder two months ago and now, as a One Direction fan, wants to look like Harry Styles when she becomes a boy.

She added: “Harry gives me the guts to be transgender. I hope he invites me to a gig one day!”
