Children born in the wrong bodies

I’m confused about this - how can children be born in the wrong bodies and why are schools teaching this? Why are adults including people at the BBC, Guardian and Pink News pushing this idea?
How are doctors pushing this too, or members of the Green Party, SNP and Labour?
Where is the science to say that children are born in the wrong bodies?

I thought Mermaids had said this was no longer a thing? that it had in fact never been a thing and we were just misinterpreting it all the time they actually said 'children born in the wrong body'?

I’ve been here for a while and it’s a question that I think needs sunlight all in one place. A version of which needs to go on the AIBU at some point.

Nobody is born in the wrong bodies unless you believe that who you are and what you are develop seperately and are put together by some external force before birth. It's complete and utter nonsense spouted by the scientifically illiterate.

I think the dfe specifically said not to teach this actually.

Yes it's appalling.

Welcome to the party Wanda! If you have a search through feminist chat you’ll find lots of posts on this, but very little - if any - actual scientific evidence to support the ideology of a soul outwith a physical body.
