TRANSGENDER killer Paris Green is to request sex-change surgery on the NHS while serving life for murder.
Green was sentenced to life in 2013 for the murder of Robert Shankland, 45, who she battered to death with two accomplices.
Now Green, 30, wants to be the first prisoner in the UK to have full gender reassignment surgery while in jail.
Plans to let her have the op were shelved three years ago due to concerns for other patients.
Speaking to the Record from behind bars, she said: "It won't be straightforward and I know a lot of people will say I don't deserve it, but nothing is more important to me than becoming fully the person I should have been.
"I want to feel comfortable in the shower rather than feeling repulsed. Having male genitalia feels wrong.
Green was born Peter Laing but identified as female for some time before starting to take hormones in 2011.
She remains in a women's unit at HMP Edinburgh, where she has been for several years.
Green met a surgeon in March 2020 as the Scottish Prison Service agreed to allow her bid for surgery.
But the process stalled when the surgeon expressed doubt over security because of the nature of her
crime, and then the pandemic struck, ending her hopes.
Green concluded it wouldn't happen until she gained freedom but now feels that with at least eight years still to serve, she needs the surgery while inside.
