‘Give me a chance’: Transgender woman Rihanna Cooper desperate for a job
A young transgender woman says she is close to despair after being unable to find work. Rihanna Cooper, 21, hit the headlines when, at 16, she became the youngest person in Britain to be accepted for gender reassignment.
She recently admitted to resorting to “dribs and drabs” of escort work in the past to pay her way, but says her dream is to make an honest living, ideally as a care worker.
Miss Cooper, of Kingswood, thought she had landed her dream job with an East Yorkshire care provider, but claims she was summoned to their head office yesterday and told there was no longer a post for her.
She said: “Being transgender does not make me any less of a person. I am no freak. I am not a murderer. I am a normal human being.
