The transgender son who sparked a social media storm after his parents placed an amended birth notice in the newspaper says the moment he told his mother he was a boy was nothing special. Kai Bogert, 19, said his mother accepted it with little fanfare and he described the event as 'extremely boring' and 'dull'. 'She said "Oh you're trans" and I said "Yeah" and she went "Oh cool", got up, gave me a hug and again went back to playing World of Warcraft,' Kai told The Today Show.
