From an early age Patrick Mitchell knew he was different to other boys. He felt more like a girl and he wanted to be one. When he was 12, doctors in Adelaide diagnosed him with gender dysphoria, a recognised condition where a person is born one sex but thinks they’re another. Of course Patrick’s mum Ali only wanted the best for her child, and to help him transition to life as a girl she took the drastic action of giving her now daughter hormone replacement drugs. But a few months ago the unthinkable happened. The 14-year-old girl decided she really was Patrick the boy after all. Now, as he and his mother explain to Ross Coulthart, the great unknown Patrick faces is determining whether the treatment to become female has already progressed too far.
