Saw a friend this week who is a CBT practitioner for the NHS. She works with young people. She mentioned that she has seen some teens recently who identify as NB / gender fluid. She signposts them to Stonewall and Mermaids, as her organisation has told her to do. I told her a few things about both organisations and she was horrified. She knew nothing much about either charity and just thought they were 'good' supportive places for teens questioning their 'gender'.
Apart from Transgender Trend, could you recommend some other links or resources that I could send her way? We talked more broadly about the issue and I shared my views about biological sex, about how sex has nothing to do with feelings or identity, and how the pronoun issue is bullshit. I could see the penny starting to drop and she admitted that she has never really thought about all this before
