"the Decision by the association's board of directors has the support of the Swedish football association rules."

" I was jättesårad, says Julle in TV4's Cold Facts."

"It's horrible," says mother Petra Douhane."

"In developed countries increases the number of children and young people who seek treatment for corrective treatment dramatically."

"Society has become more open and the ability to get help has become better."

"In Monday's the Cold Facts, TV4 examines the application of Swedish football is in step with the times and tells about the case of the Dinghy, born as a girl but who identifies as a boy. "

"That åttaring had to Dinghy to leave the boys team he played with in Veberöds AIF in two years' time."

"– Before a fotbollscup this was not the Dinghy on the notice. The board had taken a decision that the girls would play with girls and boys with boys. They cut straight off, and no one wanted to comment on the decision, " says mother Petra Douhane in the Cold, hard Facts."

"– It was no fun days. Julle was completely heartbroken so clear. The cut of it his entire life was about. He was totally convinced that was because he was poor. "

" I was jättesårad, says Julle."

"He changed the school when the invitations to a party no longer came and when he no longer was involved in what happened at recess in the schoolyard because he was told that ”You are girl”."

" Picture fotbollsföreningen have that Julle is not a guy seems transferred to many other. It was clear that those who began to tease and froze him out was on the basis of information that does not come from children but from any parent, " says Petra Douhane."

" We have said that we do not make any statements to the media. The decision we have taken. It only makes Julles situation."

"Julle yourself wondering why he's not allowed to play in their team?"

"– Yes, he can do. It, he knows all about. No, we're not talking more about this."

" We have the Swedish football behind us. Not in this specific case, but it applies generally. This is something completely new that has not existed before, where you are a natural person but want to feel like another. There is something new in the entire world of sport. Think a little about what the consequences are. Talk with the Swedish football association, said steel ring to the Cold, hard Facts."

"Louise Frisén, consultant in child psychiatry, said in the program about what to consider in the treatment of children in similar situations as Julle:"

"– It is very important that they feel affirmed as they are. To call the person of the pronouns such as they, he or she wishes. It is important to affirm the way that this child wants to express themselves on. "

"– this is The different variations on the human being that it should not be so much taboo around, " says Frisén."

"Veberöds AIF have been sued for discrimination for the behaviour around the Dinghy."

"– It is in the hope that someone will come after us should not have to go through such a struggle and to experience it as a Dinghy, to be discriminated against in this way. I hope there will be a debate in the society and that there should be a different understanding and attitude – for it is not now. I think it is horrible to treat a child this way, " says Petra Douhane."

"Then half a year back plays Dinghy after a longer break again in football, but now with the Lund FF's boys and girls teams in 10 years."

"– It felt great and I felt quite happy and welcome, " Julle."
