9news.com.au has reported on the dramatic increase in the number of children seeking transgender treatment in Australia.  They say, “according to The Royal Children’s Hospital, 1.2 per cent of the adolescent population identify as transgender with children as young as three expressing concerns about their biological sex.”

In the UK, National Health Service (NHS) “staff are being advised to ignore parents’ wishes if they conflict with those of a child who identifies as transgender - even if the child is not considered to have the understanding and intelligence to consent,” reports the Telegraph.

Organisations representing more than 30,000 health care and legal professionals have signed a letter affirming biological sex is the best indicator for making public policy.

Last year, The Sun reported, “Women who identify as male are not being offered vital routine breast screenings and cervical cancer checks in case it offends them. But men identifying as women will be invited for cervical smear tests – even though they don’t have a cervix.”
