00:00Now, front page of The Telegraph today, extraordinary story.
00:02I thought this had all been stopped.
00:04We had something called the Cass Review, which was last March, April.
00:08A very, very accomplished paediatrician, Baroness Cass,
00:13who effectively said, we've got to stop giving children
00:17who think they might be trans, rushing them into treatment,
00:21avoiding them having pills that can change their body.
00:26And now it seems the NHS is still treating nursery-age children.
00:32Nursery-age.
00:33These are toddlers who believe they're transgender.
00:36Now, they're not giving them any drugs, but the mere idea,
00:39why are mum and dad even going along with it?
00:42It's things like a boy that wants to wear dresses and play with dolls.
00:48Let him.
00:48It's things like a girl who wants to kick a football
00:51and maybe have her hair short.
00:52And the problem is, I think the parents are the ones behind this.
00:56Of course.
00:57You either say, this is normal,
01:00and children play around with gender roles,
01:02as they have done since the beginning of time.
01:04You don't march them off to the doctor
01:07and get their heads looked at by a psychiatrist.
01:11And why are they doing it?
01:12Well, because they are reading that it's normal now,
01:15they're confused, they lack confidence as parents to say no.
01:18Well, apparently, the health service had set a minimum age of seven
01:23for children to be seen by its specialist gender clinics.
01:25I think that's too young, frankly.
01:27It's unbelievable.
01:29Seven. Far too young.
01:30Claiming anything else less was just too young.
01:33But that limit's now been removed
01:34after the proposal's put up to consultation.
01:37And you know why?
01:38Because the wretched trans lobby have lobbied and put pressure on the NHS.
01:43So you've now got three-year-olds being talked to about their gender.
01:48For God's sake, what are we doing to our children?
01:51Before the Tavistock clinic was closed, it baffles me,
01:54they were seeing three new children under seven every month.
01:59Three children?
02:00That means there are three families with children under seven
02:03who thought it was normal to take their child to a clinic
02:07for advice on their gender.
02:09Look, I don't like banning anything, but I'm sorry.
02:12I think the law's got to be changed.
02:13This should be banned.
02:15Any kind of indulgence of any sort of psychological assessment of it?
02:18Of toddlers in particular, and children under the age of seven,
02:22it should be banned.
02:23It should be against the law.
02:24You know what?
02:25I just don't trust.
02:26It's just filling their heads with terrible...
02:29They're just too young for this stuff.
02:30Children are so suggestible,
02:32but clearly there's a generation of parents
02:33who are also incredibly suggestible.
02:36Where are the other adults in those parents' lives?
02:38And what I mean by that is health visitors, teachers, GPs,
02:42they must meet a number of adults.
02:44Grandparents.
02:45They must meet a number of adults on that journey.
02:47Why aren't those adults in positions of advice
02:49and maybe authority able to say to them,
02:52just go home, and if your son wants to play with dolls,
02:54that's OK, just let him.
02:56But everybody's frightened still to say the wrong thing.
02:59It's shocking, frankly, it's shocking.
03:01And I wonder what you think, if you agree with that.
03:03Yeah.
03:03There's a statement from the Department of Health
03:05which says, we are working with NHS England,
03:07and I thought that had been abolished.
03:09It's being abolished, but it's still with us, of course.
03:11We're working with NHS England...
03:12I think we've lost your mic for a minute.
03:13We're working with NHS England
03:15to reform children's gender services
03:17in line with the recommendations from the CAS review
03:20to provide children with timely, holistic support.
