A five-year-old boy who rejected his gender is now living as a girl with the support of his family, doctors and school
Zach Avery was three when he started questioning his gender, and began wearing dresses and ribbons in his hair.
Until the age of three Zach was a regular boy who loved Thomas the Tank Engine, but suddenly he became obsessed with Dora the Explorer and started dressing in girls clothes.
Zach's anguish at being a boy was such that "he used to cry and try to cut off his willy out of frustration."
Eventually NHS doctors officially diagnosed Zach with GID, one of the youngest affected children in the UK.
Ms Avery said: "They told us that although he had a male body, his brain was telling him he was a girl."
Ms Avery said the school has been very supportive and Zach had experienced no bullying from other children.

And I read in another article from the telegraph that his mother "would love to have her son back, but respects his decision."
So what do you think? Do you think the child is too young to make such a lifechanging decision?
