The High Court in Glasgow heard that the 31-year-old has now started The Process of gender re-assignment.

The Second Woman was raped at a flat in Drumchapel, Glasgow on 27 June 2019.
Bryson told jurors how she had shared her " sexuality issues" with the 34-year-old having met on the Social Media site Bigo.
The Court heard the pair were together at The Flat planning to watch a film.
The Victim recalled feeling " crushed" as the attacker she knew as Adam raped her.
She stated: " I told him to stop and he did not. He kept going. That is when I closed my eyes and let him do what he wanted to do. "

'Significant sentence inevitable'After The Verdict , prosecutor John Keenan KC said The First rape had been reported to The Authorities in 2016, but that there were no further " proceedings at that stage".
Lord Scott deferred sentencing on Bryson until 28 February in Stirling.
She already had three summary levels convictions - not for sexual matters - and has never been jailed before.
The Judge told her: " You have been convicted of two extremely serious charges. Given what you have been convicted of, a a significant custodial sentence is inevitable. "
The media and public had to watch proceedings from a Viewing Room elsewhere in The Court building.
A previous trial was abandoned due to Bryson reporting being unwell after having her photo taken as she arrived at Court .
