Now 23, Mr Moloney says telling his girlfriend after one month of dating was terrifying.

Charlotte says: "Kieran sat me down and said he had something to tell me. He then blurted out that he'd been born a girl called Ciara. I was so surprised. He was so manly. I never had any suspicions."

"He's very masculine and has a great body. I've never had any concerns about dating someone transgender, biology doesn't matter."

"I would never have guessed Kieran's secret, but as soon as he told me he'd been born a girl it didn't matter to me. I was surprised, but I love him for who he is and see him as a man," said Charlotte, a barista from Camden, London.

Kieran says: "So many girlfriends before had been embarrassed by me and I didn't want any more rejection. I felt such a connection to Charlotte I didn't want her to end the relationship. So when she reacted like it was nothing, I felt so relieved. Finally I met someone who liked me for me."

Charlotte added: "Kieran was really nervous and told me he'd understand if I just wanted to be friends. We talked it through for hours. I knew I still loved him and wanted to be with him. It didn't matter he'd been born a girl."

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."

He said: "I hated seeing my breasts develop and I was jealous of the boys at school when their voices dropped and they started shaving. I hated being a girl."

He cut his hair into a short spiky bob and wore sports bras and baggy tops to hide his feminine figure.

After seeing a counsellor aged 16, Kieran was finally diagnosed as transgender. He says: "I started taking hormone tablets which lowered my voice and gave me more body hair. I loved the changes."

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 a quest to hide any hint of being a female.

In November 2009, aged 18, Kieran started monthly testosterone injections and, two years later, had a £5k double mastectomy, paid for by his mum. He remembers: "When I saw the results I felt euphoric. I finally had a man's upper body, something I'd only dreamed about."

Kieran says: "People can't believe I used to be a girl, and neither can I."

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.

Smitten Charlotte said: “Kieran’s my soulmate and we’d be the best parents. We’ll explain his background to our kids when they’re old enough they’ll have two loving parents, that’s the most important thing.”
