JOSIE Romero looks and acts like any other eight-year-old girl - but was born a BOY named Joey.

At FOUR she insisted to her parents: "I am really a girl." At FIVE she was refusing to have her hair cut. And at SIX she had been diagnosed as transgender.

Now her sex has been legally changed and with the help of drugs and surgery she will grow up to be a woman.
