"We had Twin Boys but one wanted to become a girl"- Father Of 6- Year Old Transgender narrates his experience...

Transgender six-year-old's father on family's battle to accept Joe becoming Lily 
 Matt Downes, 37, from St Albans, said he and his wife Rosie found that Olly would kick a ball around and buy Thomas The Tank Engine magazines, but Joe, who is now called Lily, opted for pink outfits and books with fairies on them.
Matt, a CEO, also revealed that although the family has supported Lily's decision, Olly (pictured with Lily centre, and as babies, left) has struggled to come to terms with his brother now being his sister. Matt described how Lily showed signs of being transgender from 18-months-old and is now living as a girl. He said the little boy has been acting 'overly boyish' to compensate to his peers. Matt added: 'From the age of two she was drawn towards pink toys and babies. She asked for baby dolls and wanted girly fancy dress while Olly had a Batman outfit.'
Okay oo...
