A DAD has walked out on his wife and seven kids to live as a six-year-old girl.
Canadian Stefonknee Wolscht, 52, who used to be known as Paul, says she was not only born the wrong gender but also wants to be a child.
Wolscht says: “I can’t deny I was married. I can’t deny I have children.
“But I’ve moved forward now and I’ve gone back to being a child.
“I don’t want to be an adult right now.”
Stefonknee now lives with a couple who have taken her on as adoptive parents - and their own children.
She says: “Well, I have a mummy and a daddy.
“An adopted mummy and daddy who are totally comfortable with me being a little girl.
“And their children, and their grandchildren, are totally supportive.”


==================================

I'm pretty unshockable, with some unusual situations in my life and being transgender doesn't bother me, but wanting to be six years old?

Absolutely. But counseling is my recommendation - if not for him then for his kids.

Just imagine being his kid
