A teenager born a girl but living as a man has defended now dating his mums 31-year-old best friend
A teenager born a girl but living as a man has defended now dating his mother's 31-year-old best friend.
Bobby Fransis Barnes, 19, from Worcester, has found romance with mother-of-three Donna Price - who used to be his babysitter.
Bobby, who works as a barber, is waiting to have female-to-male chest reconstruction and s**x-reassignment surgery on the NHS as soon as possible.

| When he was a girl |
As a child, Bobby used to cut off his pigtails and rip off his girl clothes because he knew he was a boy on the inside.
He said: 'I have never lived any other way, I had to stand up for myself or I would get bullied.
'I would be fighting almost every other day and my mum was at school every other week. I tried to control my anger but I came to a point where I thought, "I'm not taking it any more, I will have to man up or I'm going to get bullied for the rest of my life".

| Bobby, Tracey and Donna all appeared on This Morning to share their story |
'Other kids knew not to mess with me. People said, "You have got bottle - you have got courage".
'I just want people to stop the hating.
'My mum risked everything for me. It would have been so much harder if not for my mum.'
Bobby, who has 10 brothers and sisters, said at high school he was allowed to take part in school games with the boys but some children called him 'a lesbian, a transvestite and a freak'.
He said: 'After I appeared on This Morning someone said I should have been shot at birth.
'I just laugh at it. They make jokes but they make themselves sound like idiots.
'Donna [his partner] took it hard but I have got more good comments than bad, more lovers than haters.'
The couple appeared on This Morning with Bobby's mother Tracey Wood and their story charmed hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield who said: 'You can't stop true love.'
