Boy, 12, starts new school as girl

A 12-YEAR-OLD boy reported to have changed sex, faces “a critical moment” in his life, a transgender campaign group said.

Bernard Reed, a trustee of the Gender Identity Research and Education Society, said teachers and pupils at the child’s secondary school in southern England were key to his future.

The Sun reported the child’s parents gave him a girl’s name by deed poll and allowed him to wear a dress to school.
