@nellstock @thismorning Those cases are very rare and those families will find support at a gender clinic. However I don’t feel that somehow encouraging children to think about their ‘identity’ and ‘sexual orientation’ in adult terms is very healthy. In fact it’s downright dangerous in my opinion.
@MrsDrBee@yukiookuda I’d have more respect for them if they just marketed it as underwear for ‘everyone’.
I’m tired of this regressive gaslighting of women. #womanface
@guardian Labour’s chance will come when they quit the immature student union-like politics, and start to focus on issues that the bulk of the electorate care about.
It also would hurt them to read a biology text book and stop trying to pretend that biological sex isn’t real.
Imagine if the word 'transexual' was still in common parlance- how comfortable would you feel about a 'transexual' 4 year old?
If that doesn't make your blood run cold you need to check your moral compass.
This is an important legal opinion from a Scottish QC.
A school 'affirming' a child as the opposite sex without informing parents denies parents their rights "to determine issues around the child’s welfare and upbringing" in breach of UN human rights law.

The bottom line is that clinicians are aware that puberty suppression may have negative effects on brain development but don't know much more. Meanwhile, gender clinics have been assuring parents that puberty blockers are safe and reversible. /6

Suppressing sex hormones during puberty could alter neurodevelopment in complex ways - not all of which may be beneficial.
Perhaps another angle to the trans story that you could explore on your show? 🤔
@imjamesbarr @thismorning this is a toddler, of course she can wear what likes, play with any toy, wear her hair however, but she cannot change sex - that is magical thinking, she is being sold a lie and will pay a life long price in terms of her health & wellbeing.
@lisasmi13049966 @imjamesbarr @thismorning@hollywills Playing into these regressive stereotypes inadvertently affects butch lesbians who are gaslit into believing they are boys because they don’t fit ‘typical’ beauty standards.
Incidentally, standards that YOU help to perpetuate through your modeling career.
@thismorning Here’s a great website run by a trans man, who has gone through full gender reassignment surgery. He details his terrible experiences with ‘trans healthcare’ (which is all experimental mind you!) and he details others’ too.

@LFBird@thismorning By labeling this child as ‘trans’ at 4, is setting the child on a road to lifelong medicalization and surgeries, potentially rendering them infertile and other lifelong health issues, just because they are gender-non-conforming. Just let the poor child grow in peace!!!
