A 12-year-old Austrian child has undergone gender reassignment treatment after persuading his parents and doctors that she was sure she was a girl.
The child, known as Kim, was born a boy and is currently receiving hormone treatment which will eventually lead to gender reassignment surgery.
It is very unusual for someone so young to even be considered for gender reassignment.
Persia West, who is a transgender activist, spoke to PinkNews.co.uk about the case.
“It is absolutely not unusual for trans people to know from a very early age. Being transgender is a birth condition.
“The only difference in this case is that the condition of this child has been acknowledged they are acting on it.”
