A nine-year-old boy who has wished he is a girl since he was just two-years-old is preparing to go back to school as a female.
Joseph Hughes, from Rhyl, north Wales, asked for a wig for Christmas and wears a dress when out with mum Sam, 41, as he makes the transition to becoming alter-ego, Ellie-Jo.
The youngster has been playing with Barbie dolls and painting his nails after showing his feminine side as a toddler.
Proud mother-of-six Sam backed little Joseph when he asked for a pink cake and princess toys for his birthday.
She first noticed that Joseph wished to be a girl when he turned his back on playing football with his boy friends in favour of dressing-up with older sister Francesca, 15.
Sam said: 'He's a bright boy and his school grades are all good but he's a real girly-girl and doesn't like football or anything like that.
'Joseph is the one who has made this choice.
'If I'd have dressed him up as a girl from the start then he wouldn't have had a clue - but all this has come from him and I just let him get on with it.
'Some days he'll come home from school and put a dress on, some days it'll be a t-shirt and jeans.
'It's easier for him to dress-up and paint his nails when he's indoors at the moment because he can still get a little embarrassed when someone notices his nails.

'He's started going out in a dress when he is with me so that'll prepare him for when he has to go out on his own and do it.
'He wants to back to school as a girl in September.'
When Joseph - who also has a sister Victoria, 20, as well as brothers Owen, 11, Guy, seven, and Eric, six - dons his blonde wig he becomes Ellie-Jo.

Mother Sam insists she leaves it up to the youngster to decide his gender, and found it little surprise when he chose to wear a princess dress to his school's non-uniform day.
Obsessed with Barbie films, princesses and ballerinas, Joseph is desperate to grow his own long hair.
His bed is covered with girl's duvet covers and he often prefers knickers to underpants.
Sam said: 'What child at the age of nine chooses to go outside dressed as a girl?
'As an adult that would not be normal. I wouldn't do that - that's bravery.
'He's my son and I will back him all the way whatever he wants to do.

Even when he's in his typical boys' clothes, Joseph still likes to behave like a girly-girl - pictured here painting his toenails

'If he turns around in five years' time and says I want to be a boy or I want to make the change permanent then I will never stand in his way.'
Experts insist that they want to wait until Joseph's hormones develop by the time he is 11-years-old to see if his decision is a lasting choice.
But Sam has no doubt in her mind that Joseph has gender dysphoria.
Sam said: 'He is definitely more confident as Ellie-Jo and more content in himself.
'I just wanted to raise awareness because I had no idea about this until Joseph started acting more like a girl when he was two.
'I want to help other families feel as secure and comfortable with it as I am.'
