      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.

      That is the starting point unless your alleging that medical service providers are jumping straight to surgical options. My understanding is that transsexual only applies post-operatively - as such self diagnosis would be reserved to self indentification as transgender.

      I hear medical practitioners saying they are under strong pressure not not consider other reasons or solutions for gender dysphoria other than transitioning https://twitter.com/MakeMoreNoise2/status/1203272260343214080 … I am using transsexual as that is the language of the Gender Recognition Act and the Equality Actpic.twitter.com/bI0exa2fUs

      i.e transsexual = person proposing to/ undergoing/undergone social or medical transition A child that experiences gender dysphoria may or may not grow up to be transsexual.

          Protecting children's rights and supporting mental health does not require changing birth certificates to the opposite sex
