Kerry McFadyen found her son Daniel, who was aged three at the time, trying to cut off his penis so that "he could be a girl". When I first saw the title of this article I instantly thought that it was bad parenting to let your three year old child change genders but she says "Most people might think I'm a bad mother for letting my child transition so young, but I will do anything to make my child happy" she also mentioned that her "daughter is so happy now and a completely different child. As a boy she was quiet, withdrawn and miserable but now since since she has been living as Danni she is a ray of sunshine". This made me see things from her point of view and understand why she agreed to raising her son as a girl. Mrs McFadyen and her husband Craig approached their family GP for advice, after some time Daniel was diagnosed with gender dysphoria. This is a condition where a person experiences discomfort or distress because there is a mismatch between their biological sex and gender identity. "The parents will wait until Danni starts puberty, and then she will be prescribed hormone blockers until she is truly old enough to decide whether she wants to transition aged 16."
