A former hardened army soldier has taken to Instagram to flaunt her new curves after completing her sex change last year.

Trans woman Bianca Nunes caused a stir when she posted a video of herself walking along the beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in a skimpy bikini to her 548,000 Insta followers on 11th January.

She was promptly showered with compliments, including one that read: “Woman, you are too beautiful. Perfect.”

Born as a boy to a soldier dad and an evangelical Christian mum, Bianca completed her three-year transition in September last year.

Her latest images come after she underwent a number of cosmetic ops – including HD lipo, a breast lift, and hip and bum grafts – around 50 days ago.

Bianca once revealed in a video: “I went into the Army to ‘become a man’. After I left I started my transition.

“Due to lack of opportunity, I went to work on the streets of Sao Paulo. It was painful, I didn’t understand how my life had become so empty.”

But, said Bianca: “I saved money and had my surgeries. Things were changing and I moved out of the country.

“I saved money and returned to Brazil to participate in Miss Trans Brasil. I started working with Instagram and finally managed to have facial feminisation surgery.”

One netizen compared Bianca’s transition to a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.

She wrote: “Bi, following your butterfly evolution is so uplifting. You’re more radiant every day.”

Bianca captioned her latest snap, showing her looking suggestively over her shoulder: “I can teach you to bewitch the mind and confuse the senses.”
