Some children who were assigned male (i.e. registered as male) when they were born, may not feel like a boy when they are older, or may prefer to dress in clothes or play with toys that other people say are “for girls”. They may feel or say that they are a girl. In the same way, some children or young people who were assigned ‘female’ at birth might feel or say that they are a boy. Others might say that neither “boy” nor “girl” seems the right word for how they feel about themselves.

WTF is that? I've got to research this...I'm surprised the libtards here in the U.S. haven't latched on to this idea!
I cannot imagine what that entails!

You need to look into Frankfurt School, and Tavistock.
This story is only the visible portion of a massive iceberg.
Family days
Family days have been developed across the service with the aim of providing a structured therapeutic space within which the needs of parents, young people and siblings are seen as distinct and important. In addition to four parallel groups for parents, siblings, adolescents and younger children which are facilitated by GIDS clinicians, we provide relevant talks from professionals and local voluntary sector groups.
The days provide opportunities for all family members to safely explore their own feelings, to normalise gender variance, to have access to role-models and to both offer and receive support from other families. Family days are usually run in Exeter, Leeds and London on an annual basis.
A lifelong disability that affects how someone sees the world, processes information, and relates to other people.
A person with an Autism Spectrum Condition might have some of the following in various degrees:
Difficulties making friends or keeping them
Lack of empathy
Says the wrong thing
May seem very cold hearted – doesn’t realise they have hurt your feelings
Needs lots of reassurance
Doesn’t like change, likes a routine
Doesn’t like team games, struggles to understand rules
Indifferent to peer pressure, doesn’t need the latest game
Speaks very monotonously
Doesn’t like looking you in the eye
Has particular topics they are fascinated in
Any elaborate routines
Not very good at coordination, catching a ball
Doesn’t feel pain or has a very low pain threshold
Stealth
Going stealth means to live in your identified gender without other people knowing that your assigned gender is different. People will then believe you to be cisgender rather than transgender. People who are transgender sometimes go stealth in public but not with family, partners, or intimate friends. Young people tell us that there are pros and cons for both being in stealth or not.

Nothing about parents or guardians...maybe that falls under "GP" (General Public?)!

GP stands for General Practitioners, they are doctors.
Transgender youth support charity Mermaids is the subject of a statutory inquiry, the Charity Commission says. The regulatory body began investigating Mermaids in September, after reports about the supply of chest-binding devices to teenagers. A formal inquiry has now been launched because of "newly identified issues" with Mermaids' governance and management, the Commission says.

Do you all realize there is another forum out there where Tavistock is a banned word?

Speaking of chest binding, the local talk guy mentioned issues with counselors at a St. Louis school emailing an institute in PNW about whether they should inform parents if health issues arose from school issued chest binders. They didn't want to. WFT? But they sound like they fit with this party.
