Girl, 15, who identifies as a boy is taken from her family and put into care after telling teachers her parents 'didn't want her changing sex'

A girl of 15 was taken into foster care after she told teachers her parents were refusing to support her decision to change gender.

The family was informed by the deputy head teacher at her school that he was 'powerless to intervene' in preventing them losing their 'much-loved' daughter.

He told them: 'I know she's not a boy but she's self-identified so my hands are tied.'

The case is among those cited by leading professor Michele Moore who warns that children are being taken into care and allowed to change sex at school without their parents' consent.

She says she is worried about the lack of 'sensible' discussion around children 'self-identifying' as the opposite sex.

And parents, teachers and doctors are unable to question their decision for fear of being branded transphobic, said the expert in inclusive education and disability issues.

Another family told her they only found out their daughter had changed sex and officially registered at her school as male when they visited teachers at a parents' evening.

Earlier this week it was revealed that at least three children were taken into care last year because their parents had objected to them changing gender.

Social workers at Hillingdon council in west London said they placed two children in foster homes following arguments, while Ealing council, also in west London, said it had done the same with 'fewer than five' children. It refused to say exactly how many.

Debbie Hayton, 50, a science teacher in the Midlands, who transitioned from male to female, said: 'Stories like this raise concern that hundreds of children are being pushed into inappropriate and unnecessary treatments that they will later abandon – albeit not without some psychological distress and, potentially, lifelong infertility.

There's also the worry many of these children will be suffering from underlying mental health issues, which will not be addressed by gender re-assignment.' Professor Moore, who previously worked at the Patient Safety Academy at Oxford University, claims that there has been a 4,500 per cent rise in girls identifying as transgender over the past decade.

I think more studies have to happen quickly in regards to this "rapid" Gender dysphoria
As this is getting really ridiculous, where people have had no previous feelings to be trapped in the wrong body. To then have such a rise in cases over the las couple of years. Shows concern social media is driving this.
The problem is Trans activists from the charity group Mermaids are doing everything to stop such studies

The parents of an autistic teenage boy were warned he would be taken into care after they objected to him being given powerful hormone drugs to help him change sex.

Doctors at an NHS clinic had recommended he be given puberty-blockers – which delay adolescence – after the youngster declared he believed he was female.

But his mother and father, fearing the potential side-effects of the drugs, stopped him going to the clinic. And they suspected his abrupt decision to change sex was a result of his autism.

After the boy told the school he had been barred from treatment, a teacher told his parents that they should find alternative accommodation for their son or else he would be put into temporary foster care. And the school reported the couple to children’s services for being ‘emotionally abusive’ to their son by not supporting his wish to change gender.

This is getting beyond stupid now...


A 15 year old CHILD should not be getting removed from parental custody and care, for any such reason!!!


The state intervention here is yet another example of how the twisted lefty agenda works... and another reason why it needs to be stamped out!!!

This is just stupid PC nonsense.
