Arizona Daily Star: "Josie Claudine Romero was born Joseph Manalang Romero in Colorado in April 2001. Her twin sister died shortly after being born. Though biologically male, "Joey" was diagnosed with a condition called gender identity disorder at the age of 5 by a U.S. military doctor in Japan, where the family was living. By age 6, Joey was Josie . . . Seven children under the age of 12 attend an informal group of Tucson-area 'gender-variant' children Josie's mother organizes.
