Meet The Twin Boy Aged Four Who Insists He Is A Girl And Not A Boy. by mowah: 12:44pm On Aug 30, 2015 |
Standing side by side, twins Logan and Alfie
Symonds couldn’t look more different.
While four-year-old Alfie loves dinosaurs, fire
engines and cars, Logan prefers sparkly dresses,
wands and Frozen’s Princess Elsa.
But what makes their differences all the more
striking is that these two are brothers. While
Logan was born a boy, he is so sure he is a girl
that mum Emma has taken the incredible step of
letting him live as one.
For the past 16 months he has been wearing
girl’s shoes and dresses. He even has his nails
painted his favourite colour – pink.
It’s not a decision Emma, 33, took lightly.
She said: “At first I was a bit unsure. When he
first started saying he was a girl I thought it was
just a phase. But he’s never grown out of it.
“It’s still hard to get my head around the fact my
son wants to be a girl. But it’s part of our
everyday life now.
“There is no explanation for him. Logan is
just Logan.”
In fact his love of girly things has taken over
their home in Gloucester.
“When I found out I was having twin boys I
thought my pink days were over, but it’s
gone to the extreme where everything in
the house is pink,” says single mum
Emma, holding up a pair of pink pyjamas.
“I bet you can guess whose these are.”
As she talks, her four children – Daisy, 10,
Charlie, five, plus Alfie and Logan – are eating
dinner.
Aware he is being talked about, Logan runs over
in his black patent ballet shoes and High School
Musical dress, starts to dance and says: “I’m not
a boy.”
Emma laughs: “You can’t call him a boy. A
woman said to me the other day, ‘What lovely
boys you have’ and Logan piped up saying, ‘I’m
not a boy, I’m a girl’.”
From the moment they were born in April 2011
Emma says the non-identical twins were
completely different.
“As babies they always had different
temperaments. Alfie was more chilled and laid
back while Logan was always highly strung. He
was very, ‘I’m here, look at me.’”
They also preferred different toys. Although,
when Logan first reached for the dolls, Emma
didn’t think too much of it.
“I have a little girl so I thought Logan was
just playing with whatever was there.”
It wasn’t until he was 18 months that Emma
realised it might be more serious.
“I’d always dressed them in matching boys’
clothes, like people do with twins. But one
day Logan said, “I’m a girl, Mummy, not a
boy.”
Shocked, Emma didn’t know what to do and
carried on dressing the twins alike. But then
Logan’s behaviour changed.
“He became really aggressive and angry.
He would lash out whenever I made him
wear boy’s clothes.
“If you were stood at the top of the stairs
he would push you. He would throw a plate
at you. He used to get really angry and
throw chairs.”
At first Emma didn’t connect the issues.
“I put all his anger down to some under
lying behavioural issue.
“Even when he was saying things like, ‘I’m
a girl,’ or ‘I want my willy to fall off,’ I
thought it was a phase.
“I was like, ‘You’re a boy, you’re a boy,
you’re a boy.’ But then I eventually stopped
fighting him over it and he calmed down.”
When Emma bought Logan a pair of ballet shoes
his behaviour improved and she gradually bought
him more girl’s clothes to wear around the
house.
She recalls: “Even a small thing like getting
Logan to put his pyjamas on had always been a
fight. But once they were girly ones, it all
changed.”
At first Emma stopped short of letting him leave
the house as a girl.
She says: “But the first thing he would do at
nursery is run to the dressing up box and put a
Snow White dress on.”
Finally, in May last year, she relented.
“I said fine, if that’s what he wants, let’s
see what happens. The first time he went
out in a dress he did get funny looks. But I
think I noticed them more than Logan. He
just walked around proud as anything. He
doesn’t care what people say or if they
look at him funny.”
Emma says: “They still sleep in the same
bed, you can’t separate them. They are so close,
but complete opposites.”
For their fourth birthday in April, Emma made
Logan a Frozen dress and Alfie wore a Spider-
Man costume. 1 Like 1 Share

does a child even understand the concept of sex and gender, that he will decide what gender he is or not. The boy's parents have sowed confusion into the boy just for their radical ideas. 2 Likes |
