The number of children referred to gender identity clinics has doubled in the last year. Children as young as three were among the 1,419 under-16s who received support during 2015/16.
That's an increase from the 697 children the previous year who believe they were born in the wrong body. Parents are now having to wait up to nine months to take their child to a clinic after being referred by their GP. Figures from the Gender Identity Development Service show they treated three children aged three last year.
Dr. Polly Carmichael, from the clinic which is part of the Tavistock Centre, told The Sun the rise was unprecedented.
'Young people are making the full social transition — living full-time in their preferred gender inside and outside the home — at earlier ages,' she said.
Children and their parents talk to psychologists, psychiatrists and experts at the North London clinic as part of consultations. Poppy, now nine, has made the transition from a boy to a girl.
She said: 'I didn't feel right as a boy. When I was little I'd go to a wishing well in my garden and wish I was a girl. I'm so happy now that wish has come true.'
Children who attend the clinic can be given medication but would not be eligible for any gender reassignment surgery until 18. Hormone blockers can be prescribed to children under 16 which helps to prevent the development of typically male or female features.
Cross-sex hormones can then be given to children at 16 if they wish to continue treatment.

Have they discovered what causes androgen insensitivity?
Whoa, all of a sudden, the evil of lashon hara (Hebrew-evil tongue) makes so much sense.
In my thoughts, I’ve been playing with the idea that the next step in our evolution will include the ability to experience what you’re experiencing. Some, as you, are experiencing it now.
Satan’s disciples are busy harming the children it seems. Why Satan’s disciples? It’s simple really. One of the prime goals is to destroy innocence the younger in their eyes the better. These poor kids will be emotionally and chemically screwed up for the rest of their shortened lives.
It’s called RAISING a child. This is such an abomination.
I read a large percentage of kids raised by homosexuals turn out transgender. I think part of it’s because they didn’t have the other sex to model from, while growing up.
Suddenly, sounds very important to be raised by your genetic parents.
My dad never asked me to get a beer. Pepsis, however....
I see a rise in suicides in the next decade or two.
0.03%. Don’t know what that is in real numbers. Maybe 3 out of 100,000.
“HEY!! TEACHER!! Leave them kids alone!”
Sick people. I recall when I was three I wanted to be Betty Boop.
Well, I won’t flame you and can even agree with you in certain instances. There maybe a very, tiny percentage of 3 year olds that are aware to this degree and have a brain dysfunction. But not in the numbers that it is happening today.
I truly believe that right now it is fashionable so some goofy parents encourage it. Much like a lot of high schoolers proclaim they are gay. It’s popular on tv and in the culture we live in.
I really don’t think MOST 3 year olds think about gender. I don’t remember, but my mom said I decided that I was a dog and wanted to eat out of a bowl on the floor, barked and wanted to be petted. She humored me for about 1/2 day. But I must admit...I adore dogs to this day.
Amen to that!!!
Several NDE’s.. First and major one in 1988.
Actually, you are your own soul mate. You must go within to find your perfect compliment. This is why the Apostle Paul said that it is better to remain single. And, that husband and wife become one... It’s the merge of the complimentary aspects of the soul.
Stronger is relative. You have strength in spin frequency but you also have frequency of the consciousness that is spinning. Sounds a bit confusing but it’s pretty simple.

*referred?* ...what happened to parenting? And when a good smack would most often straighten a kid out?
I think you’re right.
When I was little I wished I had been born a boy, but thankfully I was young before all this evil started, or I may have been brainwashed and abused also.
I agree.
