More of a cry for help hoping his mum and dad will get back together though

It's very odd - I really thought they would try and come up with some proper reasoning. So far to me it is screaming out that this kid needs some serious help, not that he is innately trans.

That escalated quickly.
He finds his uniform itchy, could be a sign of autism.

Harrop: Absolutely outstanding so far. Such an accurate depiction of the real lived experience of trans children and young people experiencing gender identity issues. A triumph! #Butterfly #ButterflyEffect 🦋🌈👍

Isn't this going against all sensible advice on (not) publicising suicidal ideation?

I'm kicking myself that I didn't do a bingo card - mind you I'd have had full house in the first 30 minutes

Irresponsible idiots.

I cannot believe they showed a scene where an 11 year old boy slashed his wrists.
Samaritans need to find their spine and condemn this awful, awful display of manipulative harmful propoganda.

Well this boy is certainly disturbed.

Not sure puberty blockers and surgery should be the first resort though.

I'm watching. Sort of!
They've packed a lot into the first 30 mins!

I noticed she mentioned shopping in topshop.

I'm actually feeling angry at the blatant propaganda and manipulation here. And fucking Mermaids tweeting every five seconds about their helpline.

Mixed sex toilet space and he's having a connundrum.

MrsToddsShortcut · 14/10/2018 21:22

In that I hate schools having those mixed toilets.

IAmNotInvisible · 14/10/2018 21:21

Why doesn't his mum just suggest he use a cubicle or do boys loos not have them?

MrsToddsShortcut · 14/10/2018 21:21

Okay. Horrid trendy school toilets.

He won't go to the boys' toilets?? He'd rather wet himself? I don't buy it.

No Mermans then Grin

(How I miss that! Will they have a Helga Iceberg, I wonder Hmm and Dr Wobbly)

MrsToddsShortcut · 14/10/2018 21:17

Only girls wear earrings.
