Trans groups under fire for huge rise in child referrals

According to the school’s “equality information report” this spring, no fewer than 40 pupils — children aged between 11 and 16 — “do not identify as [the] gender presented at birth”. A further 36 are gender-fluid, not identifying with their birth gender “all the time”.

The NHS has a specialist service for children wanting to change genders and referrals to it have risen by 700% over the past five years. (+)
