Father of transgender six-year-old who is now regretting,reveals how his son struggles to accept his brother is now his sister

Transgender six-year-old's father on family's battle to accept Joe becoming Lily
......'We had twin boys - but one wanted to become a girl': Father of transgender six-year-old reveals how Joe became Lily - and how his son struggles to accept his brother is now his sister
Matt Downes, 37, from St Albans, said he and his wife Rosie found that Olly would kick a ball around and buy Thomas The Tank Engine magazines, but Joe, who is now called Lily, opted for pink outfits and books with fairies on them. Matt, a CEO, also revealed that although the family (pictured together, right, with daughter Bella, two) has supported Lily's decision,but
Olly (pictured with Lily centre, and as babies, left) has struggled to come to terms with his brother now being his sister. 
Lily was always more into pink toys and dolls than brother Olly from an early age
Matt described how Lily showed signs of being transgender from 18-months-old and is now living as a girl. He said the little boy has been acting 'overly boyish' to compensate to his peers. Matt added: 'From the age of two she was drawn towards pink toys and babies. She asked for baby dolls and wanted girly fancy dress while Olly had a Batman outfit.'
....but now,there's friction between the twins,so we want to ask,if you were the parent,what would have done....and now,what would your advice be, now that Olly is struggling to come to terms with his brother now being his sister?
