LGBT children board title

Given that the Cass Review says social transitioning is not a neutral act, and refers to 'gender incongruent' or 'gender questioning' children, the use of 'trans children' looks startlingly out of date and incorrect on Mumsnet.

The board should be renamed 'LGB and gender questioning children' to better reflect best practice.

The new school guidelines likewise use 'gender incongruent' and 'gender questioning' and not ever 'trans' when referring to children.

The situation continues to develop in favour of safeguarding children and not locking them into an identity before they are legally able to change 'gender'.

Thanks for posting. As we've said previously, this board is for providing support for parents rather than aligning with specific medical or policy updates.

Our decision not to change the title ensures that the board remains accessible and easily understood by all parents who need it. We’ll continue to monitor this and adapt if necessary, but for now, we believe the current title best serves the board's purpose.

Thanks again for your feedback.

As ‘fuck off’s go, that is relatively eloquent.

No need to thank me for this feedback.
