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.

Children go through many changes, believing all sorts of things, as they grow and mature. It is not difficult, sadly, for an idiot (but generally self-obsessed) parent to screw them up big-time by believing it is serious, or that children are like adults, only little. I see parents with children all the time, treating them as if their opinion matters a lot or that they are capable of great reasoning. I don’t mean one shouldn’t pay attention or listen to a child, but they are immature and inexperienced, and they don’t know anything. They are robbed of their innocence, and the need to NOT have great responsibility. Having children make up their own minds too much, constantly asking what they want/need, puts too much importance on their silly immature thoughts. Then I believe they stop learning, or learn less, and also stay immature, because they start believing they already know a lot, and/or are capable of making reasoned choices too young.
Thanks.
Best conversations of my life has been with 3 year olds. Raw, unfiltered, a joy.
How many of these confused kids have parents of the same gender, or mother is a flaming man-hating feminazi?
I bet a very large percentage of them.
Perhaps bullying IS a good thing. Keeps one on the straight and narrow.
Doctors too?
As a New Yorker, who goes to parties with people in publishing and the arts, I can tell you so many of their children have these sex problems. It’s permissiveness up the wazoo. Nothing these kids do is ever wrong or offputting. Admittedly, I’ve never had a conversation with any of these parents about it. But they are doing such a disservice to their kids in not disciplining them.
I could care less about the money. Having died and experienced Heaven, anything that keeps me from experiencing that again is a negative... I still slip up... it’s a constant battle... but I would much sooner be back in Heaven than here on earth. No comparison!
How long until the first lawsuit suing a doctor for declaring the baby a ‘boy’ or ‘girl’? How dare they force societal norms on this new person?
You’re absolutely right.
It actually seems to be society at large. If this isn’t a signal of end times then I shudder to think what those times will be like.
So you watched what mom wanted....or you waited till she fell asleep and watched what you wanted to watch.
Why would any adult even buy into this nonsense is astounding to me.
Damn government is buying into all this cr**. No wonder the suicide rate is so high in their freaky world. We mixed them up really bad.
Would you care to share about your NDE? Or if you have already, do you have a link? Very interesting stuff you posted here. Any anecdotes of “knocking someone off their feet?”
My experience is really not important... What I learned in the process could be very helpful to people. Allow me to say it has changed my belief in the Bible as the word of God to an “experiential knowing.”
“How has having this ability changed your life in any way?” The gifts are not necessarily blessings. I feel people’s physical and emotional joys and pains just by being near or thinking about them. As much a curse as a blessing. The NDE was in 1988. I tried to keep it a low profile for most of the past 25 years. To go public with it you risk losing your connection gained during the experience.
“Have you helped people?” No, but people are helped through me.
Can you “read” people better? If so, what does this mean to you? Read them in detail... When you read a person’s soul you understand them, their motive and you don’t judge them as you understand why they are they way they are. I do slip up often in that category though.
“I have so many questions. I’m sure you will be disparaged by some here, but not by me. Thank you.” That’s ok. My identity does not depend upon people believing me. If it did, then it would mean I had lost my strength from my higher connection. I’m a sinner and fighting the same battles as everyone else!
“But this doesn’t make sense. Sex is for procreation. Procreation is not needed in the ethereal world.
If anything, gender is nonexistent in the spiritual world.”
Remember what Jesus said at the end of Matthew 13 about who the “Good Seeds.” were?
It’s not just about quantity of souls, but quality of souls. We are here to grow. Your soul or spirit existed even before conception.
“Any anecdotes of “knocking someone off their feet?””
Sin is anything that creates an obstacle to Love in your soul. Love is the most important thing as it is the glue that holds the soul together and guides us toward knowing and experiencing God.
By touching the memories it is pretty easy to tell what your mother thought of your father when you were in her womb. That is a very strong imprint on the tabula rasa of the soul and is carried the entire life.
If I touch the memories of an unwanted child, the rejection knocks the person backward. There are many variables that work in a matrix interaction with the parent’s souls.
When I was little, I thought I was really a boat.
Parents who “validate” kids’ identity fantasies to the point where the child himself is seriously confused, are guilty of child abuse.
My wife is part of an online “mom’s group” and one of the mothers has been raising her son as a girl. She claims that she identified female behavior in the child from infancy and the boy (now 8) has been convinced that he was born in the wrong body. The poor kid is completely screwed up and the parents are to blame.
I’m surprised no one’s said “Munchausen by proxy”, which is what these cases almost always are.
