Caroline Cossey
Caroline was brought into the world with a variant of Klinefelter’s syndrome, which means that she was born with the XXXY genotype rather than the XY chromosome. As a result, when she reached puberty, she naturally assumed a female appearance. She, on the other hand, kept her transsexuality a secret for a long time, finally acknowledging it in 1982 with her first memoir, I Am a Woman. In 1991, she was the world’s first transgender woman to appear in a Playboy advertisement.
