QUIRKY WORLD ... A daily look at some of the world’s stranger stories

Argentina: A female identification card has been granted to a six-year-old boy who has been dressing like a girl since the age of four.

The boy was born Manuel but likes to be called Lulu. Now he has received an amended birth certificate and a new ID with the change in gender. It is the first case of a gender change on a document for a minor in Argentina since the country’s groundbreaking gender-identity law last year.

People can change their names and sexes on official documents without getting approval from a judge or doctor. The mother said her child’s new name is Luana. She thanked those who, in her words, “trusted the identity of my daughter” and “respected her rights”.
