Daily Mail UK:
The transgender former head boy of a £30,000-a-year boarding school died after a drug-fuelled party two days before getting the go-ahead for his gender reassignment operation. Synestra De Courcy, 23, was born male and went on to become head boy and twice student of the year at St Christopher school in Letchworth, Hertfordshire. She officially became Synestra in 2013 and hoped to undergo a full operation, but difficulties with the NHS caused her to spiral into drug addiction, according to her mother. Two days after her death on July 26 this year, Synestra received a letter from the NHS giving a date for a full gender reassignment operation. An inquest into her death today found the student had died from cocaine and mephedrone toxicity. Outside of court, Synestra's mother, Amanda, accused the NHS of discriminating against transgender people. Known as Alexander at birth, Synestra had thrived at St Christopher's whose former pupils include late food critic Michael Winner, broadcaster George Lamb, and journalist A.A. Gill. In 2013, Alex she became Synestra and went on to study cosmetic science at the University of Arts in London. But her transgender journey was 'fraught with problems' at this time, according to her family, who say the NHS failed to take her attempts at gender change seriously. She forced to prostitute herself to raise the money for hormonal drugs independently, according to her mother. Testifying at Poplar Coroners' Court today, her boyfriend Jonathan Palmer paid tribute to her, saying: 'Where do I begin? She was one of the most beautiful people I have met. She was wonderful, deep, warm, connected and highly-intelligent. |
