他说：“我真正变成男孩以后，对生活十分满意。”

A little girl named Carla is currently going through the same transformation, aged nine. Despite being brought up as a girl, his mother noticed that from the age of five he was more inclined towards the rough and tumble play of little boys. He has recently had his hair cut short after wearing plaits for years.

一个名叫卡拉的小女孩目前九岁，也在经历同样的转变阶段。尽管他从小就被当成女孩抚养长大，他的妈妈早就注意到，他从五岁开始就更喜欢小男孩那些粗鲁的磕磕碰碰的游戏。他最近也把留了许多年的辫子剪成了短发。

“I feel like a man now,” he said.

他说：“现在我觉得自己像个男人了。”

Many decide not to change from their female names, so some men in Salinas have names like Catherine.

许多人变成男孩以后决定不改名字，所以萨里那斯村的一些男人会顶着像凯瑟琳之类的女性名字。

Further cases have since been seen in the Sambian villages of Papua New Guinea although the Sambians view the children as flawed males and they are often shunned, unlike the Dominicans who welcome the transformation with widespread celebration.

同样的事情还发生在巴布亚新几内亚的塞班村，但是那里的人把这些孩子看作是有缺陷的男性，并且排斥他们，而多米尼加人则很欢迎这种转变，还会举行大规模的庆祝活动。
