Around 70% of these referrals are now females - something we have never seen before except in tiny numbers. Unlike adults, children are transitioning medically and surgically.
So 70% of children's referrals are girls identifying as trans. Unlike adults where the massive majority of adult transitions are MtF.
Children are experiencing and reporting severe gender dysphoria. Unlike adults, where again the massive majority (MtF) wish dysphoria removed from the criteria of trans, don't suffer it and call those trans people among their own number who say its a part of being trans 'truscum' (true scum).
Guidance to schools, services, lobbying, the groups called by Maria Miller to give evidence to the select committee on framing the GRA - all MtF adults. Oddly enough the guidance is overwhelmingly about invading women's spaces, silencing women, and as the lovely L. Madigan recently stated 'separating biology from womanhood'. Transmen are nowhere to be seen anywhere in this picture. Only females are disadvantaged by the GRA.
No one is asking why so many girls are desperate in 2017 UK not to have to grow up to be a woman.
When you look at the above, and add it to #metoo and the massive reports of teenaged girls being groped, harassed on social media and worse (girls actually raped in their school) it's bloody obvious. Who would?
The TRA movement is a political men's rights movement. In many ways its a mens sexual rights movement. This is no way represents generations of transsexuals who just got on with their lives and would like to carry on doing so, and don't agree. Just look at Miranda Yardley's twitter feed to see the venom and violence they expend even on trans people who don't do and say exactly what they're told. Fear is a massive reason this has slid under the wire for so long. There's a word for political groups who intimidate and threaten rape, violence and murder to get what they want.
