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...

That's a very good question particularly from legal perspective, they either have an Art 8 right or not.
The Goodwin case was very specific -- a post op transsexual who apparently passed. No one would know they were male unless they saw their records. A child approaching puberty is not in this situation.

Giving child legal right not to reveal whether M or F is meaningless (& likely damaging) because in reality their normal growth will make it clear. Also Q about whether it is ever appropriate to send child to school etc.. in a situation where they & others must lie about sex?

Anyway, point is, its a good question. You'd think
@EHRC or@AmnestyUK or any of the other serious org would answer it in seriousness, instead of just mirroring whatever@Mermaids_Gender says
