Just going to highlight this bit, which is mentioned in the article and which has been shared a lot online:
There is no minimum age at which a child’s gender marker and NHS number can be changed. Parents can change the gender marker and NHS number of their child via their GP. Paediatricians have raised this with the Review as a safeguarding concern. A paediatrician and safeguarding expert provided the following example:
‘There was a paediatrician who brought a case to me for advice as they were having difficulty in engaging Children’s Social Care with a child who was presenting at primary school with behavioural difficulties. The child had been brought up in the preferred gender of the mother which was different to their birth assigned gender. She had gone to the GP and requested a change of gender /NHS number when the baby was a few weeks old and the GP had complied. Children’s Social Care did not perceive this as a child protection issue.’

The child who's been forced to pretend to be the opposite sex since birth acting out says to me that that's a boy. But, either way, it's incredible that the West is running an impromptu experiment about what happens to children when they've been socially and medically fucked with for no good reason.
