8-year-old boy living as girl

A young boy with “gender identity disorder” has decided to live life as a girl named Katie.

An 8-year-old child in Omaha is tossing away the last of his boy clothes after finding a school and church that will accept him for who he says he is inside - a little girl.

Born Ben, he was thrown out of Catholic school and church when his parents, after taking him to a shrink, finally let “Katie” live as a girl, the Omaha World-Herald reports.

His parents spent years trying to downplay Ben’s true feelings, hoping it was just a phase.

But they relented when he insisted he would not attend his First Communion earlier this month unless he could wear a pretty white dress.
