lies desperately seeking help and must change.”
Ashley Grossman, an endocrinologist who has been practising for more than 40 years and who has treated adult transgender patients, described the figures as “deeply depressing” although they “probably reflect the huge disparity in general between the requirements for mental health services for children and the resources available”.
The emeritus professor of endocrinology at the University of Oxford added: “There seems to have been a large rise in demand for these services, especially since the isolation and loss of schooling during the pandemic, so I suspect this is a wider problem than for children with gender dysphoria alone.”
It's unfortunate that the experts quoted feel unable to state the obvious truth: that children are unable to change gender, and it's unconscionably cruel to let them believe such a dangerous lie. The surge in numbers is a result of social contagion and – certainly in the case of the under-five child, and likely in many others – pushy irresponsible parents. The best thing that can happen to these children is to be left alone to go through puberty, when in the vast majority of cases the problems will resolve themselves – gay, most likely – without them havng to suffer life-changing (life-ruining) medical interventions.
No children are "born in the wrong body". No children are trans.
