See Dick be Jane

How old must you be to choose your gender?

In Broward county Florida, a child named Nicole is excited about her first year of public education. Nicole's parents, however, are concerned about whether her school is prepared for the special needs of their child. Nicole's special needs are not in education, though, but in understanding.

You see, Nicole was born Nicholas. Nicholas had "always been attracted to the flowers, the bright colors, his Barbie dolls, and his beloved mermaids," said his mother. His parents indulged his desires, believing it to be a phase, until one day Nicholas told his mother "I want the fairy princess to come and make my penis into a vagina."

Nicole's parents did not grant this wish, but Nicholas has been Nicole ever since, and she's the country's first gender transitioned kindergartener.
