Did anyone see this? I admit I didn't. I didn't know it was on and probably wouldn't have watched it anyway. For the people who did see it, was it any good, fair, balanced. I'm concerned there seemed to be a piece including a very young child and that the programme info. includes a link to GenderGP.

When Stormy's parents were asked what if Stormy said she was a girl after all, Dad said no problem, Mum said they'd have to go shopping fir new clothes....
Nothing to do with stereotypes in any way at all.

Any adult who thinks a 2 year old child is "trans" needs a serious talking to. It's no surprise that at 6 years old this child is confidently asserting that they "know" they are a boy, because that's what they've been told for as long as they can remember. Why have the parents sold this child a lie like this?

18 months? Children don't even have a concept of gender at that age. That poor girl.

Is it a one off documentary or a series?

I've not seen the programme but the article on that link is a very irresponsible piece of journalism. Not at all balanced.

There are many examples of lack of balance but to take just one: to celebrate a trans child, without even pointing out the medicalised pathway and the associated complications that this could lead to, is appalling.
