A wife has started a campaign to raise money for her transgender husband to have his breasts removed through surgery.
Shane Seath from Bellmere in Queensland, Australia was brought up as a girl named Catherine. However, the 31-year-old felt trapped in a female’s body.
He was never like other girls and knew that he was different and felt trapped in wrong body.
During his teen days he was always attracted to women but didn’t feel gay. Seath went through distress and attempted suicide in order to hide his identity.
At the age of 30 he meet Chirtine and fell in love with her. It was then for the first time he confessed about his true gender and embraced who he really is.

The 23-year-old gave him the confidence to be himself and launched a fundraiser for his surgery.
"Chrissy asked me what was wrong, and my secret came tumbling out. I hate being female and having to pretend to be something I'm not, I told her. But it was like Chrissy already knew I was a man," Shane told Mirror.UK.
The pair first became friends and after Christine’s break up, love blossomed between the two of them.
Shame proposed her and they became man and wife in February. He is yet to undergo sex change operation and is saving for his first round of breast removal surgery.

"It's been so exciting exploring Shane. For the first time I can buy from men's section in shops and be called Shane, not Catherine. I want to get rid of my chest as soon as I can. At the moment I'm strapping my boobs down by wearing sports bras that are too tight. It's really painful. Now that everyone knows I'm transgender I want to make myself appear as male as possible. Because I've always had a high level of testosterone, my facial hair has grown completely naturally. I'm over the moon,” he said.
Catherine is proud of her man and is helping him to raise money.
"When Shane told me he was really a man, it never crossed my mind to leave him, I loved who he was inside, it didn't matter about anything else. Watching him transform has been amazing. He's so confident and I find him incredibly attractive as Shane,” she said.
