Release Year: 2012
Synopsis:
"Josie Romero (born Joseph) knew at the age of four that she was the wrong sex and she even told her parents: 'I am really a girl.'
At five, she was refusing to have her hair cut. When she was six, Josie was diagnosed as transgender, so she began her transition to become a female.
Her mother - Venessia, 42, said: 'When she was a toddler, she was always trying to turn her boy toys into girl toys. As she grew older and started to talk, she always said: "I'm a girl"."
"We used to correct her and say: "No you're a boy". But by the time she was four, she was insisting: "No I really am a girl". We started to realize she wasn't just playing. She would always correct anyone who called her a boy. She'd wrap one of my scarves around her waist to make a skirt. It was her favourite game. ‘She looked kind of androgynous by the time she was five and people would always ask if we had a girl or a boy,' said Venessia."
