Britain's first sex-change mayor is to be sworn in at a special ceremony today.
Jenny Bailey, 45, who was born a man, will be made civic leader of Cambridge City Council.
The mayoress is expected to be her partner, former councillor Jennifer Liddle, 49, who also underwent a sex swap.
The pair met while undergoing hormone replacement therapy.
Ms Bailey, who has two children aged 20 and 18, and was once married, had a sex change operation when she was in her 30s.
A spokesman for the Local Government Association confirmed she would be the first transgender mayor in the UK.
But a spokesman for Cambridge City Council said the couple would not be disclosing their previous identities.
Liberal Democrat Ms Bailey said: "I entered local politics because I believe in public service and because I wanted to make a contribution to the wonderful city we live in.
"I am honoured that my fellow councillors have now chosen me to be mayor."
Rob Hammond, chief executive of Cambridge City Council, added: "I am aware that there will be interest in Ms Bailey's male to female gender reassignment.
"It is the council's firm view that someone's gender and sexual orientation has no bearing on their suitability to hold public office.
"When Ms Bailey is confirmed in post it will be business as usual for the council."

It shouldn’t be a surprise that some of them pushed so hard for the Giuliani nomination on FR that they were booted. ;-)

Bingo! I wonder sometimes if Rosie O’Donnell is a former man. It would explain a lot.

Sex changes are mutilation, pure and simple. We ought to outlaw it here so the only recourse is to get someone considering something like this intensive therapy that they need.

Gender should be defined by DNA not by the removal / addition of appendages, or receptacles. The the “boys” will have to use the girls room and vise versa
