The transgender six-year-old: Child who was born a boy is given a new identity after insisting her
parents call her Lulu
A six-year-old transgender girl from Argentina has been granted new identification and will now be registered in her gender of choice.
Lulu was born a boy named Manuel, but the young child has never identified as such and has referred to herself as a girl all her life.
She has now been given new registration papers by the Buenos Aires provincial government, listing her as a girl.
According to her mother Gabriela, Lulu chose the gender as soon as she first learned to speak and has insisted on being called Lulu since she was just four years old, local media reported.
Last year, Argentina put in place liberal rules on changing gender, allowing people to alter their gender on official documents without first having to receive a psychiatric diagnosis or surgery.
The term transgender refers to people who identifies with a different gender to that which he or she was born as.
