Ciara now identifies as male, was born a different gender
My muscly boyfriend was actually born a GIRL: Woman tells of her shock at discovering her man used to be female - but she still wants to marry and start a family

Everyone expects to finds a few skeletons in the closet when they start dating a new person.
But Charlotte Urie, 20, was left shocked after her boyfriend confessed he was actually born a girl.
With his strong jawline and muscly torso, Charlotte had no clue that the new man in her life - Kieran Moloney - had come into this world as a female called Ciara.
For years, the 23-year-old kept his sex-swap a secret, until he met Charlotte in 2012.
The couple have now been together for two years and are hoping to marry and start a family using Kieran's best friend as a sperm donor.

Kieran is yet to have full gender reassignment surgery, but the couple say Kieran's physical gender doesn't get in the way of them enjoying a healthy sex life.
He says: 'We've reached the stage where we feel comfortable enough with each other to do whatever feels good - that's what sex is.'

Kieran, who also works as a Barista, had been unhappy with his gender since he was four years old.
He had no interest in girly things and cried if his Mum put him in a dress and when he started primary school, he became a target for bullies.
He said: 'Kids didn't understand why I was different. I had no friends and I changed schools five times.
'The only time I was happy was when people mistook me for a boy.'
: 'I started taking hormone tablets which lowered my voice and gave me more body hair - I loved the changes.'
Kieran's family supported him and his mother Bronagh Moloney, 49, a nurse, began calling him her son.
By 17, fine hairs started to grow on Kieran's face and with a rigorous gym workout, Kieran's body was transforming into a man's.
He began binding his breasts with sports tape, spending £20 a week in his quest to hide any hint of being a woman.
Gradually, his cup size dropped from a B to an A.
Charlotte says: 'Kieran wasn't shy about showing off his body - he' has got a great six pack.
'Becoming a man is a dream come true and now I've met Charlotte I feel like anything is possible.'
With his strong jawline and muscly torso, Charlotte had no clue that the new man in her life - Kieran Moloney - had come into this world as a female called Ciara.
