Oxtran

A charity shop in Leeds, West Yorkshire, is hosting evening shopping sessions exclusively for cross-dressing men.

The Oxfam store renames itself "Oxtran" when it stocks up on oversized women's wear and open its doors to transsexuals and transvestites once a month.

Sally Stone, who runs the store in the city centre, said: "We felt that there was definitely a gap in the market."

The move has been welcomed by Leeds drag queens Daisy du Pont and Anna Glypta.

Ms Stone said: "Oxfam's always looking for new ways to raise funds for the work that we do and we felt that there was definitely a gap in the market.
