The Celebrity Big Brother star, dubbed the Human Ken Doll, has spent more than £500,000 on plastic surgery but now admits she always identified more with Barbie rather than her male counterpart.
Speaking on This Morning she told Holly and Phil: "I have always been in touch with my feminine side.
"At the age of two I would always play with dolls, I would wear my mother's dresses and shoes and they would try to stop me but then I would cry.
"But what I remember very clearly is that at the age of five, six and seven I didn't know the difference between a boy and a girl and I only played with barbie dolls.
Roddy was born to a Catholic family and went to strict religious boarding school in Brazil.
She admitted she spent most of her time socialising with girls which left her a target to be bullied by the boys.
She said: "Due to my religion being catholic and going to a school like that I always prayed and I prayed for God to change me."
After moving to London when she was 20 she decided she needed to "forget her feelings" and continue being a man.
That's when she started her plastic surgery journey.
She said: "I tried my best to be a male I had a fake six pack put in, arms put in but I failed badly because I was never happy.
"I carried on having those plastic surgeries because actually I wanted to be a woman."
