Britain’s first gender-fluid family prepare for total transformation

Father Louise is set to become a woman and mother Nikki will become a man called Charlie.
Britain’s first gender-fluid family are preparing for total transformation as both parents are set to have gender reassignment operations.
Louise and Nikki Draven, who are parents to five-year-old Star Cloud, are planning to undergo the surgery and be in their ‘ideal bodies’ by the time their son is ten.
Biological father Louise, 32 – who Star already calls mummy – is to become a woman and said the change has been ‘a long time coming.’
Star’s biological mother Nikki is set to undergo a female-to-male procedure and will be called Charlie.
The couple from Middlesborough – whose son is free to play with any toys he likes and paint his nails at home – said they worry ‘like all parents do.’
They said: ‘If we waited until Star was older, he’d spend his childhood with parents who felt incomplete.’
Star is being raised as gender neutral – with his parents focusing on raising a ‘person’ not a ‘boy’ – is said to have a ‘five-year-old’s understanding’ of the families situation.
