Not been posting much but could do with some advice here. I've found through DD a pupil in her class (1st year at secondary) has come out as transgender, a boy now a girl. Personally I have no issues with this and why should I? Actually I admire someone for having the courage to come out at a young age. Perhaps unsurprisingly DD and others are not so sure how to understand this and not sure how to help. What it means in practical terms is they have officially changed name, wear the girls uniform/long hair etc., mostly female friends and interests (as before transition). I'm told they do use the girls toilets which unsurprisingly some are not happy with, but do change separate for PE.
