very good article - you might want to consider changing the thread title so it gets more attention?

Clicky link.

This is the crux of the whole issue, IMO:

'Claire believes that her feeling that she was a boy stemmed from rigid views of gender roles that she had internalized. “I think I really had it set in stone what a guy was supposed to be like and what a girl was supposed to be like. I thought that if you didn’t follow the stereotypes of a girl, you were a guy, and if you didn’t follow the stereotypes of a guy, you were a girl.”'

That was a really interesting well balanced article. I presume The Tavistock take a similar view to the 'assess and wait' held by the one clinician.
