A MUM and dad told last night of their astonishing decision to let their little GIRL start to live as a BOY from the age of just four.

In a move that will shock every parent, they cut the child's hair and changed her name from Sophie to Jake.

And they asked teachers, friends, family and their church to treat their daughter as their son.

Sarah and Yuri Brown believe Jake, now five, is a little boy trapped in a girl's body — the youngest-ever case of its kind.

By the time she was two, Sophie was repeatedly insisting to his parents: "I really am a boy".
