      Our system is broken. Trans children are outed, humiliated and left feeling alone and vulnerable. The next government has a huge oppotunity to overhaul the Gender Recognition Act and prioritse #transrights.http://amn.st/60121rizI

      Amnesty. This is simplistic, fashionable nonsense. You have not properly considered the human rights. You are being led by @Mermaids_Gender & @Genderintell organisations that advocate telling healthy children their bodies are "wrong" & surgically turning gay kids 'straight'

      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.

      Does the Act actually require surgery? I would have thought that as a condition would be an automatic breach of human rights... Sex and gender are not the same.

      No it doesn't . But that was the original thinking https://fairplayforwomen.com/transgender-rights-get-part-2-changing-legal-sex-status/ … Sex and gender are different, and yet gender is allowed to change sex

      So 'surgically turning kids straight' isn't actually an accurate statement...

      Telling same sex attracted young women that they can be heterosexual men, and encouraging them to have their breasts and uteruses removed to deal with their feelings of body hatred. What would you call that?

          Providing genuine support services to allow self identified trans people, including children, explore their identity and inform them of their options (including surgical options) surely is the best approach both medically and psychologically. Your statement and question...

          Ensuring that children who are experiencing mental distress get support to explore what is causing it and how it might be addressed is surely a better place to start. Children self diagnosing as transsexual is a new, rapidly growing and little understood phenomena.
