A MUM lets her little boy live as a girl after he tried to cut off his willy aged three in a horrifying bid to change sex.

Kerry McFadyen revealed she just managed to stop Daniel mutilating himself with a pair of scissors in the bath.

After taking advice from gender experts, her son now dresses as a girl, has long hair and is known as Danni.

Kerry, 32, from Strathspey, told of the terrible moment she realised how much pain Daniel, now six, was in.

She said: “He was in the bath. Somehow he’d managed to find a pair of scissors.

“When I turned round he was holding them above his bits. I tried to be calm and asked what he was doing.

“He told me he was about to cut off his willy so he could be a girl.
