This Couple Swapped Genders To Raise Their Child As A “Person” And Not A “Boy”

Louise and Nikki Draven, natives of Middlesbrough, want their five-year-old son, Star Cloud, to grow as a person and not as a boy. They want him to feel happier in life and they believe that this step will help in achieving that.

The baby Cloud calls Louise, the biological dad, his mummy and his biological mother, Nikki as his dad. Louise will be undergoing the surgery in December 2019 and Nikki will be undergoing surgery before Cloud turns 10. They revealed their plan on “This Morning”.

Louise has been planning this transition in 2011 and has shed a lot of weight for that. He was at 25st and now he is down to 9st just to continue the surgery procedure.

Talking about how they plan to take it further Nikki said, “I’ve always been a daddy and Louise has always been mummy and that’s never going to change.

I tell Star mummy is going to a special doctor who will take away her ducky, which is Star’s word for phallus.

I say that when I go to the special doctor I’ll be getting a ducky of my own then I’ll be just like him.”

In January, Star decided to cut off his hair. T school, he is asked to wear a boy’s uniform but can accessorize. Whereas at home, he is free to dress in whatever way he likes.

When asked about how Louise feels about the process he said, “All parents worry. But having surgery will make Charlie and I feel complete as individuals and we’ll be much happier because of that.

If we waited until Star was older, he’d spend his childhood with parents who felt incomplete.”

According to NHS, “If you plan to follow their way of parenting, then you need to get in the shoes for a year and get used to the idea of being that gender. It will help you figure out if you are suitable as that gender or not.”

They further said, “You can start your social gender role transition as soon as you’re ready, after discussing it with your care team, who can offer support throughout the process. The length of the transition period recommended can vary, but usually varies between one to two years.”
