A GIRL born a boy is celebrating after a petition collected 2,000 names thanks to the support of the Worcester News.

The e-petition against the use of terms such as "->-bleeped-<-" and "gender bender" in the media has now reached its target after a hard-fought campaign by a Worcester family.

The petition was organised by Saffy James on behalf of her 10-year-old daughter Livvy, who was born with a boy's body but has always felt inside she is a girl.

Mrs James hopes Livvy can hand in the petition personally to the Press Association in London at a date which is yet to be confirmed.
