| Teen youngest sex-change patient
VIENNA, Austria -- A boy of 14 is believed to have become the world's youngest sex-change patient after convincing doctors that he wanted to live the rest of his life as a female.
The boy -- originally called Tim, but now known as Kim -- has started to receive hormone treatment in preparation for the operation that will eventually complete the sex change.
Tim was diagnosed as a transsexual two years ago, when doctors and psychiatrists concluded that his claims to be "in the wrong body" were so deeply felt that he required treatment.
Now officially registered as a female, Kim looks like a typical girl of her age. She dresses in fashionable clothes, has long blonde hair and blue eyes, and dreams of moving to Paris to become a fashion designer.
