A father and son from Brazil have shared their gender transition story online as they become mother and daughter.
Raphael and Gustavo Batista, 10, from Sao Paolo, Brazil, were born with female biological characteristics but now both identify as male.
Gustavo was the first to start his transition at the age of four which gave Raphael the 'strength and courage' to also face the transition.
Raphael, 38, stopped identifying as female last year and asked to be referred to as male. In September, Raphael posted a clip on Instagram in which he discussed gender identity.
The clip was captioned, translated from Portuguese: 'If I have dysphoria in my body? And the answer is yes.'
Asked if Gustavo influenced him, Raphael told G1: 'It didn't have any influence, but he [Gustavo] gave me strength and courage to face [the transition].'
The pair share their inspiring story with their nearly 25,000 Instagram followers and many are supporting them in their journey.
The father and son have previously spoken out against people using their 'dead names' - the names they went by when they identified as women.

Inspiring story?! They need mental help.
This is another of those Daily Mail stories that I don’t believe is real.
sick, sick, sick

First sentence contradicts title and second sentence. It is hard to keep track which direction “trans” refers to….
Munchausen by proxy and followed up doing it herself when the kid was getting all of the attention.
Don’t mock God. It will not work out for you.
>> Gustavo was the first to start his transition at the age of four
WTF? “Gustavo” did NOT “start his transition”!!!
Child-mutilating evil devils.
That mother has earned her place in the 9th circle of hell for betraying her child.
Lord please let them find you and your grace and please give me the grace and compassion to find a heart of forgiveness for such actions and remember we all fall short and need your salvation.
were born with female biological characteristics but now both identify as male.
Are we not supposed to say “sex assigned at birth” anymore. Now we should say, “born with female biological characteristics”?
Naturally, we are still not allowed to say that these people ARE female. That’s a bridge too far. But we are allowed to say they have female characteristics, without saying they are female. That would be too damn confusing wouldn’t it.
The woman should be in jail. The kid needs psychiatric help immediately. At 10, she is probably young enough to save.
Raphael was not influenced AND influenced by Gustavo according to the article. Perhaps Raphael was confused about what influence means.
How can you take someone seriously when they contradict themselves??
SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW A 4 year old & A 10 YEAR OLD CAN BE ALLOWED TO MAKE SUCH DECISIONS-—AND HOW THEY PAID FOR IT???
THIS IS NUTS.
But I thought transitioning was rare? What are the odds of this?
Well that sounds like a real cock up!
No such thing! “XX” or “XY”. NO “ X??”.
In a previous era this could have been a circus act.
America’s greatest export — mental illness. Too bad other countries can’t slap a tariff on that!
change “trans” to “not a”
