    Was an article in the Guardian Weekend a couple of weeks back – might be a worth a trawl through their site?

    This may be of intrest,

    Some intresting stuff most of us would be unaware of, just be aware the child is going through a really traumatic period of their life and requires support from staff and fellow pupils.

    A very brave child to come out, best wishes to them.

    There’s a program on Channel 4 tonight about transgender kids which may be of interest too.

    A great response from pupils at an American school with a trans prom queen. Westborough baptist church brought there hate to town and were chased off my a massive counter demonstration!

    No practical help but worth looking at

    Child or adult – I can only imagine the courage needed to deal with this.

    Most schools are pretty good these days, I understand. Contact Mermaids (http://www.mermaidsuk.org.uk/) who know far more than I do.

    Happy to chat any time, though. Twitter and email in profile.

    toilets, changing rooms, sports and games, male or female birth name, changed to gender reassignment name, press looking for a story, teachers lack of concern, other parents and kids interaction,discrimination and bullying,and so much more.
