| BULENT ERSOY-YAKTI BENI |
 |
Bulent Ersoy is a Turkish celebrity, born in
1950.
Bulent was already a popular singer in Turkey
when he travelled to England to have a sex
change in 1981, becoming a woman yet
retaining the traditionally male birth name
of Bulent. Under a crackdown on "social
deviance" by then Turkish leader Kenan Evren,
Bulent was banned from public performances
and was also refused a court petition to have
her sex re-classfied as female. Ersoy left
entertainment in protest until 1988, when
changes in the Turkish legal code allowed for
MtoF transsexuals to be legally classfied as
women. Bulent returned to recording, and
actually became even more popular as a female
vocalist than she had been as a man.
In 1998, Bulent caused controversy again when
she married her 27-year-old companion, Cem
Adler - yet the controversy was over the 20+
age difference between them, not the fact
that Bulent had once been a man. The couple
divorced a year later after Bulent caught Cem
with a call girl. In January of 1999, Bulent
was involved in a serious car accident which
required surgery. She recovered and continues
to record albums.
