Zach Avery was three when he started questioning his gender, and began wearing dresses and ribbons in his hair.

Following a psychological evaluation he was diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder (GID), and has now been living as a girl for more than a year.

The disorder is a conflict between a person's physical gender and what they identify as. It prompts Zach to feel like a girl trapped in a boy's body.

According to his mother Theresa Avery, until the age of three Zach was a regular boy who loved Thomas the Tank Engine, but suddenly he became obsessed with Dora the Explorer and started dressing in girls clothes.

Ms Avery, who has three other children, told the Daily Telegraph that Zach's anguish at being a boy was such that "he used to cry and try to cut off his willy out of frustration."

Eventually NHS doctors officially diagnosed Zach with GID, one of the youngest affected children in the UK.

Ms Avery said: "They told us that although he had a male body, his brain was telling him he was a girl."

Zach's primary school now addresses him as a girl and has changed the toilets to Unisex.

Ms Avery said the school has been very supportive and Zach had experienced no bullying from other children.

"We explained to the other kids at the school that Zach's body was that of a boy but in his brain he was a girl. We said Zach was just happier being a girl than a boy," Ms Avery told the Daily Telegraph.

According to the Tavistock and Patman Foundation Trust in London, where Zach was diagnosed, 165 children received a GID diagnosis in the past year, of which only seven were under the age of five.

A spokesperson for the Trust said: "The trend in referrals has been up over the years - this may reflect greater awareness.

"In general when younger children are referred it is in relation to cross gender preferences in play, play mates and activities. It is more unusual for children of this age to express cross gender identification."

He needs deliverance. His step-mother and the mother of his dad's senior mummy's aunty is the cause of the boy's problem.

It's just demon possession, simple! And pity this family and some people may think I have a disorder too with what I just said, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood. It's sad that we are too educated and far too civilised to see that there are forces beyond us that daily manipulate our lives and toss us here and there, anyways, they make us busy with science, medicine and technology neglecting the creator of all things, JESUS! It's just a matter of being humble (or what the world calls foolish) enough to believe that He exists and has the power, in case you are reading this and you don't have a relationship with JESUS yet, give it a shot today. You will see beyond your eyes,

[color=#000099][/color][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] its obvious that some times allowing children with soo much freedom and liberty often is a misjudgement on our part as parentsm

Why are we there to act as parents and guardians if we feel that they would be allowed to make this decisions themselves.

Am not against any one changing sex, but 5 is danm too young!

The creator of all things is God and He has a name, Jehovah(read your Bible - Psalms 83:18). Jesus is the son of God!

I'm wondering what happens when the child thinks he's a dog. Maybe a diagnosis of Species Identification Disorder (SID) and multi-species toilets.
Re: Five Year Old Boy Opts To Become A Girl by velo10: 5:57pm On Feb 22, 2012
This is not a disease. The boy simply needs to be toughened up. I used to be a sissy when I was a boy. I'm grown now, I'm not gay and I've never thought of having a pooosie before
