A nine-year-old pupil told by classmates that “God doesn’t make mistakes” after coming out as transgender has defied the bullies to return to school - as a boy. Jonus 'Raye' Maydon was born Layla and raised a girl, but told his mother Stevi Maydon he 'was male' in mid-2016, when he was just seven. Marketing executive Stevi, 38, dismissed the comments at first, concluding that Layla was confused or might simply be a tomboy. She let him chop off his hair last September, but became concerned when he suffered long periods of low mood and frequently missed school because he was unwell.
