The Gender Recognition Act was established to enable a legal fiction to accommodate transsexual people who had undergone surgery --to give them a right to privacy from revealing their true sex when it is not relevant.
Children should not be undergoing this kind of surgery. Their healthy bodies should be protected. They must have time to explore the psychological reasons they feel dissociated from their bodies.

Telling children that others accurately perceiving them as male or female is "outing" them, and is dangerous to their mental health, welfare and that they should keep this basic fact secret for fear of others is cult like behaviour... It is child abuse.

Young children can be effortless androgynous, but as they approach puberty they their normal, healthy development makes this impossible. You are backing organisations telling children to hate their bodies and fear the outside world. THIS makes them vulnerable
