More young people than ever are coming forward to explore their gender identity. Last year, 2,500 under-18s were referred to NHS England' s gender identity clinics for support. Some are hoping to get access to potentially irreversible treatments as soon as they can. Doctors are divided about the best way to help - so what is the evidence? Dr Faye Kirkland investigates how much we understand about the care being offered to transgender children.

I was a foster parent, many girls wanted to be trans and identify as boys. This is a call out for help. Spending time in my healthy stable home allowed them to gain confidence as young women again.

An astounding amount of ignorance in the comments. Do research before you go shouting about things you don't understand.

this comment section is like a bunch of redditors who can't stand having to call people by their preferred pronouns because it's "too much effort."

"She ran like a boy and walked like a boy from the earliest possible age" - what does that even mean? The child couldn't have come to that conclusion on her own, without input from the adults around her about how 'wrong' she was.

So they openly say they don’t know how puberty blockers will affect the brain and development but still hand them out like candy lol...well played!

Since when does ANY teenager "know exactly who they are"?

Medicine in the US is a for profit matter, being one of the first clinics providing that service gives you a competitive edge, why do we always go to them for moral dilemmas, they have advance research but also everything is possible through consumerism there

MTF puberty blockers stop the penile tissue developing which means SRS surgery becomes almost impossible. Jazz Jennings is quite an infamous case of this. I think she’s onto her 4th revision surgery by the age of 19.

Puberty blockers need to be outlawed, and parents should be charged with abuse!

How long is it since the High Court stopped these treatments for children in Britain?

@rattylol 3 года назад

Mr Henegan is so correct there needs to be oversight, can't just let that clinic investigate itself, it would surely be biased.

Children are told to tell their parents they'll hurt themselves if they don't get their way. If your child does this, get them admitted for 72 h for a psych evaluation. No mentally stable person will threaten suicide, so anyone who does this should be admitted.

It’s not natural to hate your genitals. You have to be taught that. Every child is born with love and acceptance of what is. Giving children medicine that will destroy their bodies is abuse

She ran like a boy and didn't like pink...oh well...must be a boy. These people are geniuses. NOT

The core lesson from the issue of trans kids is the same as it is for psychiatry, and indeed for everything important in life.

Even the name, "Gender Identity Development Service", sounds so contrived - what other aspects of anyone's identity as a person need to be explicitly "developed" by external interventions?
