The transgender part is not the issue, he is not the first nor last person to be transgender. The transager issue is a whole different story. This is a person who has a wife and seven children. Who is supporting his children while she plays at being a six year old girl???

A transgender father who left her family to be a six-year-old girl says that she cannot be an adult and "uses child’s play to escape adult life".

The uncut version of an interview by Daily Xtra with Stefonknee Wolscht explains how she makes life a game and how living as a six-year-old girl enabled her to escape from depression and suicidal thoughts.

“It’s called play therapy, no medication, no suicide thoughts and I just get to play,” she says.
