Huge rise in the number of girls seeking referrals to gender clinics.

I always assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the majority of transgender folk were MTF and that there were very few FTM.

This article says.

NHS England, 10 years ago there were just under 250 referrals, most of them boys, to the Gender Identity Development Service (Gids), run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust in London.

Last year, there were more than 5,000, which was twice the number in the previous year. And the largest group, about two-thirds, now consisted of “birth-registered females first presenting in adolescence with gender-related distress”

It goes on to try to find the reasons. Perhaps it is increasing awareness with trans men like Chella Man, Elliot Page, and Gottmik.

I wonder if this will continue.
