There will be a discussion of gender dysphoria. The Twitter grapevine says that Transgender Trend will be represented.

Very young children who are too young are being given irreversible drug treatment

Is this happening at The Tavistock?

Seen this as a reply on the women's hour tweet about this:

Transmasculine London formerly known as FTM LDN

Replying to @BBCWomansHour
Cis girls have body autonomy & agency to take the pill without parental consent from the age of 13. Trans boys & non-binary young people should have the same rights to body autonomy & agency as Cis girls.

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:34

But yes, good to hear women talking

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:34

Stephanie has been stopped but with a good question about giving children drugs on the NHS.

Honest to god, the content aside, isn't the civility and consideration/thoughtfulness of a bunch of women speaking a marked contrast to what we've had up till now?

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:32

Stephanie fom TT on now

Aaaargh that fucking word 'tomboys'... Angry

He's just buying into stereotypical behaviours & societal expectations.

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:32

Tom boys can explore their gender id more. Societ accepts boyish girls more...

"Male brain not matching with male body" is what the transman (missed the name!) puts forward for their transition.

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:30

"My brain was male"

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:30

Got teased for looking like a boy.

'Transed' at 19

Was it suggested Lewis was a gay girl?

Lewis is attracted to girls.

"My body did not feel right."

Bonions · 29/10/2018 10:30

Jane Garvery asks tranman whether they could be a gay woman

Bonions · 29/10/2018 10:29

The person presenting AFAB/AMAB has acknowledged that "the world seems to be getting more binary than less binary"

there is a reliance on stereotypes [paraphased] -"what is expected from females and what is expected from males"

"but it is a hypothesis." [that this is having an impact on ROGD]

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:28

Says was 4 when told mom they were trapped in girl's body.

Robbabank · 29/10/2018 10:27

I'm listening too!

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:27

Transman on now

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:27

Garvey read out a Twitter comment re gender stereorypes and girls expected to be preened and plucked.

Ihaventgottimeforthis · 29/10/2018 10:26

I think this discussion is heading towards the fact that gender identity is influenced by socialisation and narrow stereotypes!

concretesieve · 29/10/2018 10:26

Excellent email from a GCer

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:25

Garvey challenges this

Bonions · 29/10/2018 10:25

Jane Garvey trying to clarify the "assigning of gender" rather than observing of sex.

HandsOffMyRights · 29/10/2018 10:25

Assigned FFS

Bonions · 29/10/2018 10:23
