By Toni Jones PUBLISHED: 11:20 EST, 6 March 2013 | UPDATED: 03:55 EST, 13 March 2013 Bobby Fransis Barnes, 19, was born female but has wanted to be male for as long as he can remember. From the age of four Bobby dressed as a boy, he dated girls as he got older and at the age of 15 he decided to begin hormone treatment to become a fully-fledged man. He is now living as man while he waits for full sex change surgery and while Bobby has always had the full support of his mother Tracey Wood in his quest to change his sex, in another twist Bobby has fallen in love with Tracey's best friend Donna Price.
