THE transgender dad of a five-year-old girl who was born a boy says they have been trolled. Greg Rogers says that daughter Jayden, who was born male, has been accepted by friends and teachers as fashion-loving little girl - has been slammed online. Greg, 27, told the Daily Record: “We’ve had people saying we’re using Jayden for attention and that she just wants to be a girl because I changed sex. “It’s ridiculous. Jayden knows nothing about my past. She just knows me as dad.” He added: “They say it’s cruel we let her wear a dress but is it not more cruel to do nothing when you’ve got a kid who’s so adamant she’s a girl she’s ripping her hair off and banging her head off the walls?” Partner Jody, 21, said: “Social workers can also see Jayden is well looked after and have no concerns. All we want is Jayden to be happy and proud of who she is, whatever that might be.” Yesterday, doting dad Greg … [Read more...] about Britain’s first transgender family abused by trolls for letting five-year-old boy become a girl

Transgender dad who was born female insists he DIDN’T encourage his five-year-old daughter – born a boy – to become a girl
THE transgender dad of a five-year-old girl who was born a boy has revealed her gender change is the LAST thing he wanted for her. Greg Rogers fears that although daughter Jayden, who was born male, has been accepted by friends and teachers as fashion-loving little girl - she could still face abuse from online trolls. Cruel web bullies have already falsely claimed that Greg, 27, and partner Jody, 21, forced their child to change gender. But doting dad Greg told the Mail On Sunday: "We haven’t encouraged Jayden to do this, despite what people think, and we are hurt at the suggestion." The family, from Shotts, North Lanarkshire, are believed to be the first in Britain to have two generations of transgender members. Jayden began living as a girl nearly a year ago and started wearing dresses and insisting on having her nails painted and growing long hair. Her transition came after she was born with partial deafness - meaning she struggled to communicate her feelings. But after an op … [Read more...] about Transgender dad who was born female insists he DIDN’T encourage his five-year-old daughter – born a boy – to become a girl
Hull boy, 7, living as a girl after being born in wrong body
A mum from Hull has revealed how her seven-year-old son knew from the age of four she had been born in the wrong body. As a toddler, *Alice liked wearing pretty pink dresses and having her nails painted, and she would tell her mum how she wanted to grow up and live as a princess in a castle. At first, the 40-year-old mum-of-three did not take much notice of her behaviour and thought she might grow up to be gay. However, after buying her a princess dress from Asda when she was three years old, the reaction encouraged her to let her child be whoever she wanted to be. The mum, who now uses the female pronoun to describe her son, who has also officially changed her name from Jacob to Alice, said: “Her face illuminated like Blackpool. She was swaying around and wafting her dress up with her hands and she was just in her element. “That made me think ‘I can’t deny her that. I have to get her that dress.’ Whenever she had non-uniform days at pre-school she would … [Read more...] about Hull boy, 7, living as a girl after being born in wrong body
