Kathlyn Beatty, the teenage daughter of actors Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, has reportedly been living as a man for several years, and now wants to undergo gender reassignment surgery. According to The Daily Mail, Kathlyn's decision is causing friction between Bening, who is said to be accepting of Kathlyn's desire to change sex, and Beatty, who's still struggling to come to terms with it.

Kathlyn, 18, now calls herself Stephen Ira Beatty. She recently graduated from high school in Los Angeles, and when she walked onstage to collect her diploma, she was announced as Stephen rather than Kathlyn. Pictures of the event suggest her father was not at all comfortable with her masculine appearance and insistence upon a new name and gender - he's not smiling in any of the photos, while Bening is shown clapping and cheering.

Wow, he's only eighteen and has been living as a MAN for years? That's some neat trick.

He's been in the news once or twice over this.

The next step is to get his mother and father to actually act like their happy for their son.

I remember seeing a clip of him being interviewed about it and he seemed a bit pissy that the subject was mentioned. There's also been a few recent articles about this and some of them have made it sound like the last few years the parents have spent a lot of effort trying to convince their son that he's not doing the right thing.
