The 10-year-old boy acclaimed as the world’s youngest trans model is the child of two transgender parents who say they plan to start him on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones before gender surgery at age 16.
“Noella” McMaher, who was “socially transitioned” at age 4, represented the Trans* Clothing Company brand during New York Fashion Week in February, but has now been signed on for continued modeling jobs until November, reported Metro UK.
According to Out magazine, designer Mel Atkinson created the Trans* Clothing Company in 2018 to cater to men seeking to transition as women, but now it is “an all-inclusive brand with clothes for trans and gender nonconforming people of all types.”

“Noella really doesn’t ever get nervous or scared by anything,” Dee McMaher said about her child’s modeling career, reported Metro UK. “She’s a tiny professional!”
“She was so excited to go down the catwalk, excited to see all the people and the cameras,” McMaher boasted. “She knows exactly how to work a crowd.”
“We are so proud of Noella for being the first trans child in New York Fashion Week, we are in awe with her confidence and determination,” the mother continued. “It’s great that she can provide this trans visibility on a global scale. She is showing them that trans is beautiful.”
But feminist publication Reduxx reported on “Noella’s” disturbing family history, which has been omitted from the other media’s celebratory profiles:
Dee McMaher, Noella’s biological mother, is a social justice advocate who identifies as non-binary, appears to be on hormone replacement therapy, and recently had a cosmetic mastectomy. Both she and her current partner are females who identify as trans masculine.
Reduxx notes that Point Chicago, an LGBTQ advocacy organization, states McMaher, who prefers the pronoun “they,” is studying to be a paralegal.
“Dee is a deaf, gay, transgender person with a background in LGBTQIA+ advocacy,” Point Chicago states. “They have spent the last 10 years working as an educator and advocate for transgender children and their families.”
As Reduxx observed, those 10 years working in LGBTQ advocacy covers the time since “Noella” was born.
McMaher and “Noella” were profiled in People’s World in 2019 when McMaher was battling the boy’s biological father, Timothy McCord, for full custody of the child.
McCord opposed Noel’s transition, McMaher said, and, in 2016, caused the boy a fracture in his arm after he attempted to force him to wear boy’s pajamas.
The father reportedly simply gave his son medication and sent him to bed, but when Noel expressed pain to his mother, she reported McCord to child protective services, and he was arrested on charges of aggravated child abuse.
In 2019, Reduxx noted McMaher married “Ray,” a woman who identifies as transgender and works in the field of “LGBTQ health justice.”
In that same year, Chicago Parent featured an article about “Noella,” who likes to be called “Ella,” and McMaher, in which McMaher said in the next few years, she plans to start her child on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, and then begin the physical transition with transgender surgeries at age 16.
“I want people to see me as a smart and helpful girl,” “Ella” told Chicago Parent. “I want them to know that I like to have fun and be like all kids. I am proud of being transgender and being in a queer family.”
Reduxx reported McMaher and her partner have another child they are raising as nonbinary, referring to the child as a “theybie” who appears in photos in a jumper that reads “genderless is more.”
Detransitioner Sinead Watson told Reduxx she was incredulous at the family’s disturbing issues.
“I cannot believe this child was affirmed at such a young age,” Watson said. “I cannot believe this child – this baby – was deemed wrong as young as 2.”
“And legal changes at 6? This whole case is abhorrent,” she asserted, calling the plan for “Noella” to undergo surgical transition at age 16 “child abuse.”
“That this child’s parents both happen to be ‘trans’ or ‘queer’ is no surprise to me,” she continued. “They are forcing their own ideological ideas onto their innocent baby.”
Watson added she is “seeing more and more parents with Münchausen syndrome by proxy,” she added. “It’s not the kids who are trans – it’s the parents who want them to be trans.”

Where the hell is social services. I have read in the papers and heard in the news that while two Fathers took naps, the kids unlocked the doors they weren’t supposed to touch and were walking down the streets on the sidewalks. A neighbor and passerby saw the kids and the police were called. The Fathers were arrested for endangering a child and the kids were put into foster care. One of the Fathers lost his job because his name, address and where he worked was in the news and the Father was treated like a criminal. The other Father was also put in hand cuffs and taken to jail and the kid was handed over to a neighbor because both wives were food shopping. These parents actually did no criminal activity because every kid gets away from parents no matter how well the kids are watched. And social services doesn’t arrest these non parents for disfiguring a child’s body because the non parents want to and put the kids in foster care. And how did a non parent get this little girl especially these mental people just because the Father accidently broke his kids arm. Didn’t the girl have a Mother, grandparents, uncles, aunts that the kid could be given to. Even with a broken arm eventually the kid would be reunited with the Father. Where was the court procedure that stole the kid and gave her to these non related creeps.
This child should be removed from the custody of two nats!!!!
This is absolutely outrageous. No parent should be permitted to abuse their child with permanent consequences like this.
This is just plain cruel to that child! Starting at age 2 HE has been inundated with the notion that HE is a SHE. Imagine the confusion! This child should be removed from the custody of these nuts. What ever happened to being proud of what sex you were born with and making the most of who and what you are? The female person who birthed the male child they are making into a female found it handy to be female at the time. The whole damn bunch just act like its a game to change their sex. The little boy will be unsettled all his life. He will have no peace.
What is this world coming to? Lord help us all!!!
Sick parents projecting their own sick mental disorder unto a child. How could any child growing up with two transgender people look at the world normally.
This is child abuse and endangerment! It also means the trans-child will be rendered sterile and will never be able to procreate an offspring. It is also scientifically and medically proven that suicides’ are much higher among transgender and also early death.
The (so-called) parents need to be locked away forever. It’s either xx or xy. There is no change or in between.
Well, the parents didn’t successfully trans….they could use a few more trans-visits to their plastic surgeon, and I guess they will make sure that innocent child doesn’t gain any weight….it may cost the trans clothing/modeling companies to cancel their contracts. And if this experiment they are putting their child through sours, and they are sued as a result, may they lose every penny they made due to their foolish decision.
