The parents of a 19-year-old boy have announced his birth in a newspaper following his sex change.

The notice, spotted in The Courier Mail, has been widely shared on social media, with many praising the Australian parents of Kai Bogert for their public show of acceptance.

The parents say they were "mistaken" when they announced the birth of Elizabeth Anne as a daughter in 1995.

They said they wanted to "present our wonderful son Kai Bogert to the world" - before reminding him to tidy his room.
