Children as young as five have been accepted as patients of Northern Ireland's specialist transgender health service, the News Letter can reveal.
The news comes after it was revealed last week that health minister Mike Nesbitt has committed extra funding for trans patients.

The figures were obtained via a Freedom of Information request to the Belfast health trust, which runs the Province’s trans services.

i thought i was a pirate at age 5, most of these young kids are probably just gay, the parents and doctors doing this should be reported to social services

Thanks for sharing this article. It's utterly appalling that a parent would even think of a young child in such a way.

The parents need investigating - age five?!

This should count as child abuse and the parents should be referred to social services. Let 5 year olds be 5 year olds.
