The Resume

    (1978- )
    Born in Surrey, England, United Kingdom
    Birth name was James Charles Harries
    Appeared on British talk shows as a pre-teen antiques expert
    Underwent sex reassignment surgery (2001)
    Appeared in the documentary 'Little Lady Fauntleroy' (2004)

Why she might be annoying:

    As James, his bow ties, pompous delivery and air of superiority prompted one critic to call him 'the boy that everyone wanted to slap.'
    As a teen, he was rejected by the local gay community for being too effeminate.
    While she was changing genders, she also converted to Buddhism and vegetarianism.
    She tried to launch a singing career despite being tone deaf.
    She said of her appearance in 'Little Lady Fauntleroy,' 'I looked like Madonna gone wrong.'
    She posed nude for 'Bizarre' magazine.
    One TV critic described her as 'so addicted to the hot glare of television cameras that she is willing to pay any price necessary to bask in their glare.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    He was bullied in school, which became worse after his TV appearances.
    As a child, he bought a ceramic cow for 50 pence that was valued by a Sotheby's expert at £1,000.
    His talk show appearances were manipulated by his parents, who fed him information about antiques and picked out his attention-getting outfits.
    More alarmingly, she might have been manipulated into getting the sex change, since the counseling required for the operation was conducted by her mother under a false name.
    A gang of men broke into the family home and assaulted her, her father and her brother (July 8, 2005).
