immediately sends a message to the brain and the foetus is already born knowing
what gender they are .

10. Gender dysphoria in children.
• Very rarely, children may express this incongruence between gender identity and
the genital sex.
• Symptoms of unease with the assigned gender role
• If these children are unable to express their awkwardness, their discomfort may
grow through adolescence and into adulthood
• as families and society, in ignorance of their primary gender identity, relentlessly
reinforce gender roles in accordance with their physical appearance alone
• However, some children are able to express a strong cross-sex
identification, and sometimes insist on living in the opposite role.
Such as wearing the other gender clothing and habbits.

11. Some effects.
• Those who are not treated in adolescence may continue to struggle to conform
they may start on relationships, marriages and parenthood in an attempt to lead
‘normal’ lives
• however, they may be unable to continue with the farce of presenting themselves
as something they know they are not
• This sometimes lead people into depression and it serious cases suicide.

12. Legal Issues.
• If you have undergone the treatment know as transition, which is

to the individual’s post-transition gender status.
• The Gender Recognition Act (2004)has been in operation since 2005.

Recognition Certificate and (as long as the birth was originally
registered in the UK) they may obtain a new birth certificate.
• They are now able to marry in their newly recognised gender.
• The Sex Discrimination Act (Gender Reassignment) Regulations
